Introduction
Welcome
You will need access to Stata. There are advantages to buying a copy. Stata GradPlan Look for Stata/IC. Small Stata will not allow you to do the exercises for this course.
It is cheaper to use the Virtual Computing Lab. UNC VCL. Stata should also be available on lab computers around campus.
The Wall Street Journal If money is tight, subscribe to the Wall Street Journal and use the VCL. Businesses hire people who major in economics and read the Wall Street Journal.
Follow economics at The Economics Roundtable. Veteran readers use an RSS reader. I recommend SharpReader (free).
The Econ Review has some interesting graphs.
