DESCRIPTION:Knowing how to analyze data is increasingly important for succe
 ss in a wide variety of fields of work and is crucial for doing well in co
 urses on Statistics and Econometrics. It is also at the heart of the work 
 on a majority of senior theses in Economics and related fields. This day-l
 ong training session will introduce you to one of the main computer langua
 ges that is used for these purposes\, Stata. It will be useful for newcome
 rs as well as those who could use a review. An emphasis will be placed on 
 the practical steps of using the language. Within one day we will be able 
 to cover all of the main material that you would need for your Statistics 
 and Econometrics classes as well as tacit knowledge and programming tricks
  that these classes don’t often cover. We will further discuss more adva
 nced techniques that are not needed for these classes but that are often v
 ery useful in writing a senior thesis and working after graduation. The tu
 torial will be useful for getting a head start on your Statistics or Econo
 metrics classes\, increasing your utility in working as a research assista
 nt for a professor\, making it more likely that a professor might hire you
  as a research assistant\, as a brush up on what you learned in prior cour
 ses\, or preparing to write your senior thesis. Jobs such as those for rec
 ent college graduates at the Federal Reserve\, World Bank\, International 
 Monetary Fund\, and Washington D.C. think tanks highly value these skills.
  The speaker\, Professor William Lincoln\, teaches Econometrics and the Se
 minar in Research Methods (Economics 180) for senior thesis writers at CMC
 . He has long experience in teaching Stata in these classes as well as wor
 king with it for his own published research. He worked at the Federal Rese
 rve Bank of Chicago right out of college doing exactly this type of work.
