Wooldridge CRAN accepted
Those new to econometrics and R may find themselves challenged by data
management tasks inherent to both. The wooldridge data package aims to lighten
the task by efficiently loading any data set from the text with a single command.
Collectively, all data sets have been compressed to 62.73% of their original
size. Most sets have robust documentation including page numbers on which they
are used, original data sources, original year of publication, and notes which
chronicle their history while offering ideas for further exploration and research.
To resurrect a data set, one can pass it's name to the data() function or just
define it as the data = argument of the model function. The data will lazily load
and, provided the syntax is correct, model estimates shall spring forth from
the otherwise lifeless abyss of your R console! If the syntax is an issue, the
wooldridge-vignette displays solutions to examples from each chapter of the
text, providing a relevant introduction to econometric modeling with R. The vignette
closes with an Appendix of recommended sources for R and econometrics. Note:
Data sets are from the 5th edition (Wooldridge 2013, ISBN-13:978-1-111-53104-1),
and are compatible with all others.
