Local-Projections-using-R. Local Projections (Jordà 2005, AER) are a convenient and flexible way to estimate dynamic, causal effects of a policy of interest several time periods after it comes into effect.

Bootstrapped-SE-with-three-way-panels-in-Stata. Stata has excellent and flexible bootstrapping functions for cross-sectional, time series and panel data structures. However, it lacks automatic capability in dealing with three-way panel structures, that is, data structures indexed by i, j, t, where for every i there is every j and for every i, j there is every t.

Automating-Stata-to-write-your-LaTeX-for-you. This post isn’t going to teach you how to make Stata write the words in your LaTeX file but it will show you how to automatically update tables, figures, and statistics.

Calculating-road-distances-between-locations. The Stata command georoute is a great shortcut for reliably calculating routing distances and travel time between either two geographical coordinates or two addresses. This command is particularly useful as it calculates the driving distance and travel time (by car, under usual traffic conditions) as opposed to straight-line distances.

How-to-make-bar-charts-of-impacts-with-standard-errors. Previously creating a bar chart with standard error bars was a multistep process requiring you to create the standard error range yourself and overlay two charts on top of each other. The command cibar makes this process simple.
