Your data

Your own dataset and research question, from your personal code.

Every student gets their own version of the course data: the same variables and the same kind of firms, but drawn separately, so your numbers are yours. With it comes your research question: which outcome you study, in which industry and which part of Sweden.

Your personal code (six characters, for example K7Q2MX) is on Blackboard. It is also your identity in this course: write it on the cover page of your report and use it in your file names. Never write your name or personal identity number anywhere in the report, the do-files or the logs.

The zip file holds your dataset (Stata and CSV), the codebook and your research question. Keep it to yourself: two students with the same research question still get different results, so a copied table does not fit your data.

For the labs we all use the shared course dataset on the Data page.
