🚀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. 🗺️
The package pull data from the geoboundaries.org/ database using its API. This package allows users to quickly setup the spatial data without having to hunt for #GIS information from random websites.
The syntax is fairly straightforward:
geoboundary ISO3 list, level(ADMx list)
The syntax can also convert shapefiles to Stata format and clean up the folder if specified. This can be useful if downloading data in bulk.
See below for installation instructions and examples:
github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-…
Please test it out and report bug/feature requests!
Note that the boundary data is provided as it without guarantees or accuracies. Boundary data is also subject to change. Please check notes and meta data and use official sources if the most recent information is required.
Up soon on SSC.

Columbus I was unfamiliar with your game
ALT In body camera footage Columbus police released Monday, the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched, waved flags and yelled racial slurs. One of the officers noted the men were “covered in” pepper spray.

I have two fantastic students on the market this year. Anyone looking to hire in development + labor should take a serious look at them. First up, Varun Kapoor sites.google.com/view/varunk…
Labor markets in LMICs have high turnover & unemployment, even with high demand. Through 3 field experiments, Varun K examines how limited commitment + liquidity constraints on both sides of the market cause mismatch in labor supply-demand, which partly explains this phenomenon.

Abdou Cissé is on the market from Berkeley. His job market paper measures the value of energy reliability a key part of growth and development. A great laboratory for his question is a natural experiment in Senegal: the staggered roll-out of a large-scale -national- electricity reliability technology that allows him to causally measure the real effects of improved electricity reliability and households and firms' willingness to pay for such reliability. He combines great empirics, sufficient statistics modeling, and quantification all in one paper. In addition, he has a great pipeline (JME pub, JDE R&R, other R&Rs, and strong works in progress). Last but not least, he is humble and a great dude. He will do well on the market.
If you wanna know about Abdou Cissé, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to share my recommendation letter. [His website is in the first response to this post.]
ps: We are not related.
