Survey data analysis in Stata
The survey data analysis training will be given by Jeff Pitblado of
StataCorp. During the training seminar, Jeff will discuss Stata’s
features for analyzing survey and correlated data and will explain how and
when to use the three major variance estimators for survey and correlated
data: the linearization estimator, balanced repeated replications, and the
clustered jackknife (the last two added in Stata 9).
Jeff will also discuss sampling designs and stratification, including
Stata’s new features for estimation with data from multistage designs
and for applying poststratification. A theme of the seminar will be how
you can make inferences with correct coverage from data collected by
single-stage or multistage surveys or from data with inherent correlation,
such as data from longitudinal studies.
The survey data course will be given in English.

Analisi dei dati panel in Stata (in Italiano)
L’obiettivo di questo corso è di fornire ai partecipanti
un’introduzione alla strumentazione teorica e applicata necessarie per
poter svolgere autonomamente analisi empiriche con dati panel. Durante il
corso verranno trattati i seguenti argomenti:
- Gestione de dati panel in Stata
- Il modello di regressione ad effetti “fissi”
- Il modello di regressione ad effetti “random”
- Test di correlazione dell’errore, nel tempo e tra individui, nei modelli panel
- Test di esteroschedasticità
- Correzione degli standard errors per la correlazione e l’eteroschedasticà negli errori
- Modelli panel con effetti temporali
- Sbilanciamento nei dati
- Modelli con variabili esplicative endogene: stimatori panel a variabili strumentali
