ABSTRACT：

In this seminar, I am going to present some programming features of Stata. I will demonstrate some applications in an array of research steams, economics, finance, and management. In addition, I am going to show how to apply portfolio approach by calculating the correlations of cost development among countries. I am also planning to share some details of Monte Carlo simulations using my recent research article as an example. It is believed that the skills are useful to PhD students as well as some junior scholars across different research areas dedicated to quantitative research.
