Title

frause -- Access Wooldridge Stata datasets

Syntax

frause
filename
[
,
clear
dir([str])
describe

]

Description

frause provides access to Stata-format datasets used
in "Introductory Econometrics: a Modern Approach" by J. Wooldridge, plus other datasets I find useful for my own classes.

The command uses webuse in the background, and downloads data from Github, in my repository.
If you have problems downloading the data, it may be I exceeded my traffic allotment.

The command and helpfile was based on -bcuse- by Prof. Baum.

Options

clear specifies that you want to clear Stata's memory before loading
the new dataset.

describe request describing the dataset of interest. This will load only the file describing the variables in the dataset, not the dataset itself.

dir([str]) request listing all datasets currently available in the repository. If no string is provided, it displays ALL datasets. But, if some string is provided, it displays only datasets that start with that string

Examples

. frause crime1

. frause crime1, clear

. frause econmath, clear

. frause econmath, des

. frause oaxaca, des

. frause, dir

. frause, dir(a)

. frause, dir(at)
