Stata tools

Some useful Stata programs developed by the author. Some of these programs are available at SSC. In Stata, type: ssc describe commandname.

Installtion:

Type the following within Stata and follow the instructions (replace commandname to the command you would like to install):

net describe commandname, from(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/excel-wang/stata/master/)
