Meetings: 2013 Mexican Stata Users Group meeting

Organized by MultiON Consulting SA de CV, distributor of Stata for Mexico and Central America, and the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE), the 2013 Mexican Stata Users Group meeting will be held on May 3, 2013, at CIDE, in Mexico City. The meeting is open to all interested. StataCorp will be represented.

Christopher F. Baum (Boston College) is attending the meeting as international guest speaker. He is author of the books An Introduction to Stata Programming and An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata and has authored over 50 papers in highly regarded journals, including Computational Economics, Journal of Banking and Finance, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Journal of Economic Surveys, Journal of International Money and Finance, Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, and Oxford Economic Papers.

The Mexican Stata Users Group meeting is a one-day international conference about the use of Stata in a wide breadth of fields and environments, mixing theory and practice. The bulk of the conference is made up of selected submitted presentations. Together with the keynote address, these sessions provide fertile ground for learning about statistics and Stata.

The meeting will include the usual “wishes and grumbles” session, at which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers.

Presentations may be given in English or in Spanish, depending upon the preference of the speaker.
