Create and Export Tables Using Stata

Michael Mitchell’s Create and Export Tables Using Stata shows you how to create tables of summary statistics and regression results using Stata’s table, dtable, and etable commands, as well as the collect suite of commands. Mitchell examined hundreds of published journal articles from many disciplines, searching for commonly used table layouts. This book breaks down how to create the most popularly used tables by guiding you through examples and giving you a look "under the hood" of the collect system in Stata.
