STATA Cookbook

I have written an introductory Stata Cookbook for the course “Methods for Policy Analysis” at Maastricht University and United Nations University. It’s released under MIT License at CodeBerg.

The cookbook holds a collection of useful STATA commands with notes on when and how to use them. You can get the entire cookbook in one file (view/download), or you can get parts of the cookbook grouped by topic:

• intro.do (download)
• logging.do (download)
• importing.do (download)
• labeling.do (download)
• graphing.do (download)
• ideal.do (download)

If you are working with STATA, my examples can serve as the foundation to build your own personal cookbook. This initial collection of commands will cover many of the most common functions of STATA, but there are good reasons to build on that foundation: perhaps you want to augment our notes on how to use commands, so that they are more clear or fit your preferred use better. Perhaps you found a useful commands or tricks online and you want to include them in your personal cookbook. As you continue to use STATA, having your own personal cookbook allows you to keep adding new commands and notes.
