Tools
On this website I occasionally post code for Stata and LaTeX that could be useful for other users.
- The Stata package xlsheet, which allows for the creation of Excel worksheets including graphs straight from Stata. (Code coming soon.)
- The Stata package lablogger, which allows for the generation of a TeX document with tables and graphs straight out of Stata can be found here.
