Navigating Stata

Stata is the preferred statistical software of many economists, although far from the only available.

Pricing varies by country, use, and the number of users. If your department doesn't have a Stata license and the price tag is too high for you, but you're feeling frustrated with the lack of power of Microsoft Excel, you might want to check out R.
