Hi -
As I just finished my paper and I guess it is more than appropriate to say a
global thanks for all the hints and insights I got through Statalist. This
is true for both the answers to my question as for skipping the other
conversations.
As I figure that many Stata learners read this list too, I'd like to add two
book recommendations that I really found helpful and well structured. There
is some overlap between the books, but mostly they complement each other.
- An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata, by Kit Baum.
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/imeus.html
Is a really good combination between econometrics and using Stata. I figure
that in the end, the best analysis you can do is limited by the function
min(Econometric-knowledge; Stata-knowledge) and in this sense the book
contributes to bring both on the same level.
- Data Analysis Using Stata,
by Ulrich Kohler and Frauke Kreuter
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/daus.html
I find this to be more detailed when it comes to beginner issues that than
the one mentioned above.
