ISSR Methodology Workshop | Data Management with Multiple Datasets in STATA

Instructor: Onupurba Das

Designed for intermediate STATA users, this workshop is perfect for those looking to manage multiple datasets and enhance their coding skills with quantitative data. Participants will work hands-on with provided datasets to learn techniques for merging data, aggregating it at various levels and reshaping it for longitudinal studies.

Learning Objectives:

1. Append information to a dataset
2. Merge datasets
3. Collapse data
4. Reshape data

Pre-requisites/Notes:

1. Some prior STATA experience (equivalent to an introductory workshop) and some experience working on Stata.
2. The workshop uses Stata for PC, and there are a few minor commands and functionalities different in Stata for Mac and we will go over those if needed.
3. If using your own laptop, please make sure Stata is installed and can be opened prior to the workshop. Stata is available on most library computers, and you may be able to borrow a laptop with it installed from the library as well - please look into the options before the workshop.
