Hello everyone,

Hope all's well. This is just to let you know that there's now a drop-off box for your final papers outside of PhD office in building 9, 5th floor.

Good work everyone, and have a nice vacation!

Best wishes,
Lynn

Hi Everyone,

 I will be holding an emergency drop in STATA clinic tomorrow Thursday May 13 from 8:00am to 11:15am at Toscanini's in case you have last minute questions on STATA. I will give priority to strictly STATA questions (log files, do files, commands, labeling, making things pretty etc.), followed by non-STATA questions (like deciding which question to ask, which test to do, how to interpret output, or which flavor of ice cream is best with coffee in the morning). 

thanks,

QR Class;

I've added some materials from today's class to Stellar, including:

• links to the NYT articles about (a) AIDS/HIV in Africa, and (b) Climate Scientists vs. Weather Forecasters
• a link to the Keynes chapter where he mentions the "Beauty Contest" problem
• the R script I used for the $100K investment simulatation

These can all be found in the "Week 14" section of the "Materials" page.

Also, please remember that course evalutions are being done on-line this year -- you can visit web.mit.edu/subjectevaluation/ to participate.  (So far only 13 people have responded, so it's still a pretty small sample...)

Again, thanks for a fun semester, good luck on the final papers, and please continue to stay in touch to discuss your QR needs.

Hi Everyone,
 For those still looking for cross-country data, and for future reference, here are two good sources. Note that The World Bank data was recently opened to the public.
