Best Stata Tricks Twitter Thread Ever

Click here for the thread. Thank you, Seth Gershenson, for putting it together. Thank you, David Mckenzie, for bringing it to my attention. Grad students, study these carefully. Folks who have been coding Stata for years, you can also find tricks to simplify your life considerably!

My favorites:

If you're plotting regression coefficient estimates & confidence intervals this fine saturday morning, coefplot is the command for you.

binscatter by @michaelstepner: plots mean of y for different bins of x. super helpful for visualizing correlations, esp in big sample when plotting raw data yields a blotch of ink. also for plotting RD reduced forms & event studies. 


Enjoy!
