• Learn the skills you need, types of pre-doctoral programs and other ways to prepare, possible career tracks, and more!
• Expected to be offered April 7th to April 13th.

• Knowing your keyboard and computer's file structure better saves a lot of time, possibly as much as 64 hours per year. Come to this workshop and you can spend that time (one and a half work weeks!) sleeping, hanging out with friends, or studying.

• Friday, January 26th 12:30-1:50pm (lunch provided) OR Sunday, January 28th 2-3:20pm (snacks provided).

• This introductory session is based on a survey conducted on workshop participants. We cover the basics of opening files, running commands, creating summary statistics and graphics, dealing with outliers, and manipulating variables.. We also work through how to deal with errors (which are inevitable, but manageable, in any statistical package). This will be hands on, practical experience: each participant will be using the program in real time.
• Sunday 3/3 2-4pm
• Monday 3/4 4:15-6:15pm
• Thursday 3/7 4:15-6:15pm

Excel provides an intuitive tool to create multiple numeric descriptions of data, as well as scatterplots, bar charts, maps, and more.

• Intermediate workshop: Thursday 2/29 4:15-6:15pm. Information and registration is at bit.ly/excel2-s24.

• Many books and papers present regression results to support their arguments. There are some simple ways to scan these tables that let you quickly understand the main points and common pitfalls. We cover how to read regression tables and graphs efficiently, what the numbers for coefficients and statistical significance mean, and common ways regressions are misused.
• Tuesday 2/27 4:15-5:15pm Kohlberg 116
• Preregistration is optional, at bit.ly/quant-paper-s24.

• Stata is a statistical analysis software widely adopted by economists for empirical analysis. This workshop series is mainly designed for students enrolled in Econ 31, Introduction to Econometrics. The workshops align closely with the timing of the lectures, and will complement in-class illustration through real-time structured hands-on experience of using STATA to complete basic tasks required at various stages of the course. Students who are not enrolled in Econ 31, but have some understanding of statistics and are interested in learning to use Stata, are welcome to attend.
