Contenuti
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of the most useful tools to conduct empirical quantitative analysis in health economics using STATA. The workshop is built around empirical studies and the emphasis will be on learning by example. At the end of the workshop, the students will be able to:
- Autonomously find and extract data from the on-line data repository of the most relevant International Organizations (WHO, OECD, FAO, etc.)
- Manage large dataset from National Surveys (Health surveys, Household Budget surveys, Nutritional surveys and other)
- Prepare the data and perform descriptive analysis
- Perform quantitative analysis on health data and (most important) understand the outputs (the focus will be on regression analysis and other multivariate methods and quasi-experimental methods for impact assessment)
- Detect and report relevant results using tables and graphs
