Wo sind die Milchkühe 🐄 in Österreich? Hint: Nicht in Wien. #testkarte #map #dataviz #stata19 #AT

Am Zweiten Österreichischen Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel #AAR2 arbeiten über 150 Wissenschafter:innen, koordiniert von @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social & @iiasa.ac.at und mit Unterstützung des @ccca.ac.at. Und es gibt einen Starterpack mit Autor:innen des Berichts 👇

In zwei Monaten veröffentlichen wir den Zweiten Österreichischen Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel #AAR2 - eine Übersicht der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zum Klimawandel in Österreich 🇦🇹 und den Folgen sowie Vermeidungspotentiale, Anpassungsmöglichkeiten und Transformationspfaden. aar2.ccca.ac.at/de

Upgraded! #Stata19

🚀 #Stata #ridgeline ( #joyplot) is now bumped to v1.9 with new features: 👍 Sorting on marked peaks is now allowed. 👍 Peaks can now be labeled and fully customized. Test it out! More info here: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on #SSC!

🚀 #Stata #bimap v2.3 is out w a major new feature: 👉 New option "statvar()" allows us to summarize the information in each bin for a specified variable, such as population. This might be more meaningful than cell counts. More info: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on SSC!

Cross posting from X here for the permanently displaced :) This is really an amazing database. We were looking for something like this a couple of years ago but bilateral tariffs are not so trivial to compile. Thanks for putting this together!

🚀 #Stata #ridgeline has been bumped to v1.81: ⭐ Draw multiple variables. ⭐ New option "mark()" adds maximum or mean lines to the distributions. ⭐ New option "showstats" now shows mean and SD of the plotted variables. More options and examples: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on SSC.

🚀 #Stata #ternary is bumped to v1.2 with the following major changes: 👉 New option "scale" now scales markers to totals. 👉 "zoom" now has tighter bounds adjustable via the "pad()" option. Check GitHub for the latest version and examples: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on SSC!

Only a few days left for the #statauk #Maps #Masterclass course on 14th March: timberlake.co.uk/courses/maps... This is a 6 hour intensive course, offered once year, where you will learn all about the latest map innovations including some unreleased features! @statacorp.bsky.social #maps

#Stata #bimap is updated to v2.2 with major functionality improvements: - Better legend control. - Option "geopre()" allows layers below the bimap. - Some options renamed. More info: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on #SSC!

#Stata #streamplot is bumped to v1.9 with major changes (see below). And here is a newer version of the #USAID stream graph with the newer version. More info: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on SSC!

A quick look at #USAID support over the years by categories. In real terms, obligations were declining till 2000 and economic development was being substituted with security spending. #policyviz #dataviz

If you guys are using underbraces and/or generating numbers tables in #LaTeX, then please start using #phantom spaces to make the text visually coherent. There are also packages that do this, e.g. #dcolumn, #siunitx for aligning decimals in regression tables.

🚀 #Stata #packages updated on #SSC: See GitHub for release notes plus other details: - geoflow: v1.0 (first release): github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... - geoboundary v1.2: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... - spider v1.53: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... - polarbar v1.7: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s...

à propos of nothing, here's a little #Stata script that sets up a standardized folder structure for new research projects (inspired by @asjadnaqvi.bsky.social) 💾 LINK: jankabatek.com/stata/folder...

🚀 Launching a new #Stata package #geoflow that allows users to generate spatial arcs. This package is a culmination of over a year of work for building stable core dependencies. It also brings us one step closer to flexibly plot network data.

🌍 #Stata #geoboundary version 1.2 is now out: ⭐ option geoframe added. ⭐ #WorldBank's official global ADM0 boundary version 3 added. ⭐ geoboundary meta, now allows fuzzy searches Other public global databases will be added soon. More info: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on SSC!

Willkommen @thomasneier.bsky.social am @wifo.bsky.social 🙂

A 🧵 on my top three games for the year! No mainstream AAA titles this year (except maybe OW2 and a bit of D4). Instread explored many indie/survivial games. Below are my top three according to #Steam, all of which are base management+survival games. Would highly recommend these:

Hi all, another year almost gone and I am signing out of work for this year. Today on the #StataGuide on #Medium a bit of a recap of 2024, all the exciting things that have happened, and what can be expected in 2025. #thecodemustflow medium.com/the-stata-gu...

📊Ever use or teach interactions in regression? I’ve been using/teaching this tricky concept for years & finally decided to write a guide. Link below; no paywall👍 Meant for users of any software but @statacorp.bsky.social code is provided 😁 CC: @asjadnaqvi.bsky.social medium.com/the-stata-ga...

Countries did paid more in #externaldebt #repayment and #interest than #disbursements in 2023. #WorldBank #IDS #IDR 2024 report

Exploring the #WorldBank's 2024 International Debt Report #IDR new dataset. One of my favorite datasets out there! Expect more posts from it 😎

Guys, please welcome @statacorp.bsky.social to #bluesky 🙂🙂

A reminder that it helps to learn regular expressions, no matter what programming language you use. The hidden yet ubiquitous microcosm of #regex essentially powers search engines, password controls, text mining applications, and much more! medium.com/the-stata-gu...

🚀 #Stata #geoboundary is bumped to v1.1 with two major updates: 🌏 added "geoboundary meta" to recover the meta information for countries especially iso3 codes 🌏 Added "GADM" as another source of loading boundary data. Just specify "source(gadm)" More info: github.com/asjadnaqvi/s...

Presented our "Quantifying external trade risks" paper today at the #C3AAnnualSymposium at the #WordBank Paris office. By combining #MRIO with #sanctions, we evaluate structural and risk-weighted profiles of countries by exploring the space of probabilistic outages. @wifo.bsky.social #ASCII

Fixed some minor bugs in the #Stata to #Latex guide. If you (like me) cannot get the hang of the new "collect" commands and are stuck to the "esttab" suite, then do check it out! Quite a lof of ready-to-use examples in there. medium.com/the-stata-gu...

🚀Launching the @Stata #geoboundary 🌎🌍🌏 package that allows users to pull #administrative ADM0-ADM5 (availability can vary) #boundaries for any #country, or for the whole #world. 🗺️ github.com/asjadnaqvi/s... Up soon on SSC!
