International data and data on developing countries
Macro Data 4 Stata. From the web site description: “Importing publicly available datasets into statistical software is often tedious and time consuming: the original dataset needs to be converted from its original format; longitudinal datasets need to be reorganized in a form suitable for analyzing panel data; and datasets from different sources need to be carefully merged. This last step is particularly time consuming because country codes and names tend to vary across datasets. Macro Data 4 STATA addresses these issues by homogenizing several commonly used macroeconomic datasets and importing them into STATA.”
