About the lecturer - Anne-Kathrin Stroppe
Anne-Kathrin Stroppe is a doctoral researcher at GESIS where she is working as a data curator for the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES). She is a political scientist who graduated with a M.A. degree from the University of Konstanz. As part of her doctoral thesis, she studies the influence of accessibility to public infrastructure on political attitudes and behavior. Her methodological focus lies thereby on linking survey and geodata to answer social science questions.

About the lecturer - Antonia May
Antonia May is a doctoral researcher at GESIS. For the large-scale harmonization projects ONBound (Old and new boundaries: Religion and Nation) and HaSpaD (Harmonizing and synthesizing partnership biographies) she has worked as a data curator with a focus in data harmonization. She is a social scientist who graduated with a M.A. degree from the Humboldt University Berlin. Her research focuses on national identity and political attitudes.
Course description
The course is designed to encourage participants, who are already handling Stata fluently, to unpack the potential of Stata for the automation of tasks in data management and data processing. Thus, it is not an introduction to the software but addresses advanced Stata users who want to learn how to employ loops and macros to efficiently solve data processing tasks, write own little programs (ados), or generate (LaTeX) documents from within Stata. The course will provide participants with the necessary basic knowledge on automation and programming in Stata, but beyond that we will discover how to write reproducible Stata syntax and maintain standardized workflows. The lecturers will present best practice examples from processing and analyzing survey data and participants will be able to apply their knowledge to use cases in Stata directly.

Advanced Target group
Advanced Stata users who are interested in programming and want to advance their prior knowledgeParticipants who are interested in trying to solve complex data processing tasks in efficient ways using StataParticipants who have a specific data preparation or data processing problem that they want to work on in the courseLearning objectives
Participants will improve wrangling and analyzing data in Stata with regard to reproducibility and efficiency of their syntax. They will be able to write Stata syntax and programs which they can re-use and apply to their own use cases.
Prerequisites
Participants should be familiar with Stata and use its basic data processing commands on a regular basis. They should have experience in using Stata syntax files and be able to present typical challenges they face when wrangling and analysing data.
Software Requirements - We would kindly ask you to have Stata installed on your laptop before the workshop!
