The 2011 Spanish Users Group meeting will take place in Madrid on September 22. This meeting will provide Stata users the opportunity to exchange ideas, experiences, and information on new applications of Stata. Anyone interested in using Stata is welcome.

This year’s guest speaker will be Alfonso Miranda from the Department of Quantitative Social Science at the Institute of Education, University of London. The title of his talk is “Efectos de Tratamiento Endógeno para Modelos de Datos de Conteo con Participación Endógena o Selección de Muestra”.

Attending from StataCorp are David Drukker, Director of Econometrics, and Bill Gould, Head of StataCorp Development.

The meeting will include the usual “Wishes and grumbles” session, during which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers. You also have the choice to attend an informal dinner for an additional cost (approximately €35) on Thursday evening in Madrid.
