Miklós Koren
Miklós teaches reproducible coding practices to economists to help them maximize their scientific impact. He believes in the command line, plain text, and that every problem can be solved with the right combination of Stata, Python, Julia, git, and make. He is Professor of Economics at Central European University and the Data Editor of the Review of Economic Studies, a leading scientific journal.
Session
This talk introduces Kezdi.jl, a Julia package designed to ease the transition for Stata users into Julia's data analysis ecosystem. Recognizing Stata's limitations with big data and its cost, Kezdi.jl offers Stata-like syntax for data wrangling, exploratory analysis, and regression in Julia, leveraging the strengths of DataFrames.jl and Tidier.jl. The presentation will discuss the challenges Stata users face in adopting open source alternatives, and demonstrate Kezdi.jl's capabilities.
