Abstract
Aplicaciones en Economía y Ciencias Sociales con Stata is the first publication in Spanish produced by Stata Press. The content is the result of a selection of individual contributions by a diverse group of authors with different areas of knowledge, who illustrate the use of a variety of tools available in Stata. Each chapter presents original research where the authors implement statistical and econometric tools to support their conclusions with empirical results, most of which can be reproduced with the data and do-files available on the Stata Press webpage for the book. Thus the reader has direct access to the methodology implemented by each of the authors. The book comprises three main areas. The first focuses on inequality, poverty, and contingent valuation; the second, on macroeconomic modeling; and the third on electoral analysis. In addition, one appendix introduces data management using Stata and one appendix covers basic statistics. The book maintains a balance between economic or social theory, modeling, programming and data analysis. Each chapter describes and employs several commands, macros and routines. The authors also develop original code, specially crafted for each application. In addition, each chapter ends with a series of exercises aimed at showing users and students the workings of the theory and empirical estimation. Resumen: Este libro integra aportes académicos de investigadores experimentados de la economía y las ciencias sociales. Es el primer libro publicado por Stata Press con un enfoque iberoamericano, y permitirá los lectores en español conocer un conjunto de técnicas y desarrollos novedosos en su propio idioma. La obra tiene dos objetivos: mostrar resultados de investigación originales y que el lector comprenda y aplique las técnicas de Stata 12.0. Cada capítulo ilustra un problema económico o social particular y demuestra cómo analizarlo y resolverlo gradualmente empleando menús y comandos. Ésta es una obra que sirve de apoyo al lector interesado en conocer más sobre temas económicos y sociales, pero que también busca aplicar el análisis teórico-estadístico que aquí se propone a su propio contexto. El libro mantiene así un equilibrio entre la teoría, el modelaje técnico, la programación y el análisis de datos. La obra reúne nueve capítulos de investigación originales agrupados en tres áreas: 1) pobreza, desigualdad y valuación contingente; 2) modelaje macroeconómico, y 3) análisis electoral. En cada una se describen y emplean diversas funciones estadísticas, comandos, macros y rutinas fuente, pero también se presentan códigos de usuario originales, creados especialmente por los autores para este libro. Cada autor desarrolla formalmente un tema concreto y concluye con una serie de ejercicios con el fin de reforzar la comprensión teórica y práctica. Esta obra constituye una fuente de referencia muy útil para el estudio de temas teóricos concretos, pero también de diversos comandos y rutinas en el ambiente Stata 12.0.
