Description
Colin CAMERON and Pracin TRIVEDI. Microeconometrics using Stata : volume II: nonlinear models and causal inference methods - 2nd edition. College Station, Tex. : Stata Press, ©2022, xlii, 856p.
From the Stata technical group: Every applied economic researcher using Stata and everyone teaching or studying microeconometrics will benefit from Cameron and Trivedi's two volumes. They are an invaluable reference of the theory and intuition behind microeconometric methods using Stata. Those familiar with Cameron and Trivedi's Microeconometrics: Methods and Applications will find the same rigor. Those familiar with the previous edition of "Microeconometrics Using Stata" will find the familiar focus on Stata commands, their interpretation, and their connection with microeconometric theory as well as an introduction to computational concepts that should be part of any researcher's toolbox. And readers will find much more--so much more, the second edition required a second volume. This new edition covers all the new Stata developments relevant to microeconometrics that appeared since the the last edition in 2010. For example, readers will find entire new chapters on treatment effects, duration models, spatial autoregressive models, lasso, and Bayesian analysis. But the authors didn't stop there. They also added discussions of the most recent microeconometric methods that have been contributed by the Stata community. The second volume builds on methods introduced in the first volume and walks readers through a wide range of more advanced methods useful in economic research. It starts with an introduction to nonlinear optimization methods and then delves into binary outcome methods with and without endogeneity; tobit and selection model estimates with and without endogeneity; choice model estimation; count data with and without endogeneity for conditional means and count data for conditional quantiles; survival data; nonlinear panel-data methods with and without endogeneity; exogenous and endogenous treatment effects; spatial data modeling; semiparametric regression; lasso for prediction and inference; and Bayesian econometrics.
