ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Built for learning by doing.
Created by Dr. Nisha Malhotra, an economist and educator with more than two decades of university teaching and research experience. These resources were originally designed for Economics students at the University of British Columbia.
The redesigned site preserves the original teaching material while making the relationship between research design, econometric methods, and applied STATA work much easier to follow.
