The following show how to do some things relating to the lecture on Dummy Variables. The example uses (a simulated copy of) New Zealand data from 2011. It also shows how to do them in a ‘open source online’ manner, using a program(ming language) called Julia, together with Jupyter Notebooks.

This html version shows you both what is done, and all the results of running the codes. It allows you to directly see the results, as well as the code that generates them. Ignore the first few ‘cells’ at the top, skip to the ‘Introduction to Econometrics’ title. Another slightly nicer looking version of the same is here (but with some extra irrelevant stuff at top of page).

If you have Julia installed then you can download this Jupyter notebook version. You can not only see the code and results, you can also edit the code directly, and then edit and run it for yourself. To do this you will need to install Julia and Jupyter Notebooks (easiest way: download and install JuliaPro, and Jupyter Notebooks).
