Stata datasets

There are multiple ways you can get the datasets. No matter which method you choose, you should start by creating a folder or directory where you would like to keep your local copies of the files. Once this is done, you can either get the files from within Stata or download the files from your browswer and decompress them manually.

Working from within Stata

1. Start Stata.
2. Change your working directory to the location you created above by choosing File > Change Working Directory... from the menu bar and navigating to your new folder.
3. At the Stata prompt, type

      . net from http://www.stata.com/data/s4poe5

4. Follow the three clickable links to investigate the packages and retrieve each set of files.

In addition to the above method of obtaining all files associated with the book simultaneously, it is possible to use any individual data file from within Stata by typing

    .  use http://www.stata.com/data/s4poe5/data/filename
