Forthcoming at the Journal of Political Economy: We find that consumer product markups increased more than 25 percent from 2006 to 2019.
One contribution is an approach to estimate IO-style models at scale, yielding flexible consumer preferences and estimates of marginal costs.

These inaccessible files include Census / ACS flat files, TIGER/Line shapefiles, and much of the data documentation / guidebooks on the website.
However: you CAN still access data via API as well as on data.census.gov.

So I think R and Stata have their pros and cons. I like both, and I use both. In terms of power, cost, and flexibility, there is no doubt that R has an advantage over Stata. While R and Stata can both do econometric analysis, I just find Stata easier and more concise to code and implement.
We should care about students’ career outcomes. Teaching them R will be MUCH more helpful than Stata. Not only is R more highly valued, it also makes learning things like Python much easier.
