Does location matter in your data? Then join our live online course Spatial Cross-Sectional Econometrics Using @Stata to LEARN how to MODEL it PROPERLY. You will learn how to: - Build and row-standardise spatial weights matrices - Test for spatial autocorrelation with Moran’s I and LISA - Estimate SAR, SEM and SDM models by ML and GMM - Interpret direct, indirect and total (spillover) effects It's a HANDS-ON course with Stata’s official sp suite: spset, spmatrix and spregress. Ideal for PhD students, researchers & analysts in economics, regional science, geography, political science and policy institutions. 👉 Info & registration: bit.ly/4BoH3Nu #Stata #SpatialEconometrics #SpatialData #SpatialStatistics #Econometrics #EconTwitter #RegionalScience #EconomicGeography #GIS #PhDChat #AcademicTwitter #DataScience

Need to keep track of what’s in your @Stata ado paths? Then Jan Ditzen’s Stata command suite adotools is JUST what you need! adotools adds three commands to Stata: adodefine, adoadd and adoclear, which help to manage custom ado-file paths without editing adopath by hand!

Italian Stata Users Conference 2026 - Milan, 17–18 September 2026! Aimed at promoting @Stata community commands to a wider audience. Day 1 (17 Sept) opens with Scott Cunningham (@causalinf) discussing AI Agents for Research Workers: where coding agents genuinely help in the empirical workflow, where they mislead, and what that means for reproducibility. The day continues with: New Community community-contributed commands: • xtthreshold — panel threshold regression with interactive fixed effects (Jan Ditzen, Yiannis Karavias & Joakim Westerlund) • rdlasso — RDD with high-dimensional covariates (Marianna Nitti & Marco Ventura) • bbandits — batched bandit experiments, ε-greedy & Thompson sampling (Davud Rostam-Afschar & Jan Kemper) • wqsreg — the first Stata command for Weighted Quantile Sum regression (Marta Ponzano, Stefano Renzetti & Andrea Bellavia) • catmetrics — 300+ association & forecast-evaluation measures for categorical data (Andrei Sirchenko & Konrad Wrębiak) • stfform - Assessing the functional form of the Cox model (Daniele Spinelli and Rino Bellocco) • fffuroot - implementing unit-root and stationarity tests with smooth breaks approximated by flexible Fourier form (Giovanni Bruno) Tips and Tricks: • adoadd - developed to control Stata’s ado environment (Jan Ditzen) • Building Desktop Applications for Stata Using Python (Giovanni Cerulli) Innovative ways to exploit the latest commands included in Stata 19: • Beyond Evidence Synthesis: A Meta-Analytic Framework for Explaining Heterogeneous Dynamic Parameters (Maria Elena Bontempi) • Bibliometric Analysis in Stata: Text Mining, Network Community Detection, and Unsupervised Learning (Carlo Drago & Gentian Hoxhalli) • Optimal Policy Learning under Constraints in Stata (Giovanni Cerulli) Joining us from @Stata Kristin MacDonald on gsem and Di Liu on cate. Applied work on microsimulation, latent transition analysis and public health mapping wraps up the meeting in the late afternoon. Day 2 (18 Sept) offer a full-day training course: Modern Difference-in-Differences: New Problems, New Solutions, led by Scott Cunningham.
