11:10–12:00 Call Stata from Python Abstract: Stata 16 introduced tight integration with Python, allowing users to embed and execute Python code from all of Stata's programming environments, such as the Command window, do-files, and ado-files.
... (Read more)
Stata 17 introduced the pystata Python package. With this package, users can call Stata from various Python environments, including Jupyter Notebook, Jupyter Lab, Spyder IDE, PyCharm IDE, and system command-line environments that can access Python (Windows Command Prompt, macOS terminal, Unix terminal). In this talk, I will introduce two ways to run Stata from Python: the IPython magic commands and a suite of API functions. I will then demonstrate how to use them to seamlessly pass data and results between Stata and Python.

latitude and longitude; cnaddress, which converts latitude and longitude into Chinese landmark geographic locations; cntraveltime, which calculates the traffic distance between two geographic locations (you can choose different traffic modes); and cnmapsearch, which searches for various geographic keywords such as subway stations, hospitals, cafes, barbecue stalls, etc., within a few kilometers of a given location. These commands provide a great convenience for empirical research on geographic and transportation issues and have broad application prospects in finance, economics, and sociology.

Design and Implementation of PSM-DID in Strategic Management Research

Presenter

Liu Haijian, Nanjing University

Description

In strategic management research, because of subjectivity, the multiperiod nature of variables, and the difficulty of controlling multiple variables, endogeneity is a problem that needs special attention. Propensity score matching (PSM) can artificially construct a quasiexperiment for the key object under study; and difference in differences (DID) can study the impact of an external event. When these two methods are combined, they are particularly suitable for studying the inconsistent influence of a certain type of external event in the experimental group and the control group, effectively removing the endogenous problem so that the impact of such events on the organization can be explored. This kind of research is widely used in strategic management research. This webinar discusses this and provides a specific example for analysis.

Application of Permutation Test in Causal Inference

Presenter

Wang Fei, Renmin University of China

Description

The permutation test, as a statistical inference method different from the random sampling perspective, is becoming more and more common in the field of causal inference. This lecture will introduce the logic of the permutation test and its application in random experiments and synthetic control methods, and it will use Stata software to show the operation process and results of the permutation test. At the same time, the permutation test has also shown a tendency of misuse in the field of causal inference (for example, it is used to test the exogeneity of key independent variables). This lecture will also take the double-difference method as an example to introduce the misuse cases and improvement ideas of the permutation test.
