Creating LaTeX documents from within Stata using texdoc

At least since Thomas Piketty's best-selling "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" (2014, Cambridge, MA: The Belknap Press), percentile shares have become a popular approach for analyzing distributional inequalities. In their work on the development of top incomes, Piketty and collaborators typically report top-percentage shares, using varying percentages as thresholds (top 10%, top 1%, top 0.1%, etc.). However, analysis of percentile shares at other positions in the distribution may also be of interest. In this paper I present a new Stata command called pshare that estimates percentile shares from individual-level data and displays the results using histograms or stacked bar charts.

Concepts of Bitemporal Database Theory and the Evolution of Web-Documents

A vast amount of temporal information is provided on the Web. Even though many facts expressed in documents are time-related, the temporal properties of Web presentations have not received much attention. In database research, temporal databases have become a mainstream topic in recent years. In Web documents, temporal data may exist as meta data in the header and as user-directed data in the body of a document. Whereas temporal data can easily be identified in the semi-structured meta data, it is more difficult to determine temporal data and its role in the body. We propose procedures for maintaining temporal integrity of Web pages and outline different approaches of applying bitemporal data concepts for Web documents. In particular, we regard desirable functionalities of Web repositories and other Web-related tools that may support the Webmasters in managing the temporal data of their Web documents. Some properties of a prototype environment are described.

Creating LaTeX documents from within Stata using texdoc

This paper discusses the use of -texdoc- for creating LaTeX documents from within Stata. Specifically, -texdoc- provides a way to embed LaTeX code directly in a do-file and to automate the integration of results from Stata in the final document. The command can be used, for example, to assemble automatic reports, write a Stata Journal article, prepare slides for classes, or put together solutions for homework assignments.

Creating LaTeX documents from within Stata

In this presentation, I present a new user package called texdoc. texdoc can be used to create a LaTeX document from within Stata in a weaving fashion. This is especially useful if you want to produce a LaTeX document that contains Stata output, such as a Stata Journal article or solutions to statistics homework assignments. I will provide examples illustrating the usage of texdoc.
