Training description
In this hands-on training, the participants will first be introduced to the basics of STATA. Then, they will be exposed to addressing economic questions (i.e., how much to produce, demand and supply functions and equilibrium price, estimation and empirical use of elasticities, basic forecasting, etc.) by estimating econometric models using the STATA software package.
Target audience
The purpose of this training is to introduce the participants to STATA and to equip them with practical skills for making educated economic decisions. This training uses the regression analysis applied to various sample datasets and is intended for economists, business consultants, business analysts, economics students, and other interested parties that do economic analysis in any type of production or service industry (food industry, consulting, wholesaling/retailing, banking, etc.). Participants are not expected to be intimately familiar with STATA or econometrics; however, it is recommended that they have a basic background in economics and regression analysis.
