How to Make Maps in Stata

We walk through an example of making a choropleth map, which shows how the intensity of a given variable differs across regions through simple color coding. We use the Stata commands spshape2dta, merge, and grmap. Our example data is from the World Bank, and can be accessed from within Stata with this command: wbopendata, indicator(ny.gdp.pcap.pp.kd) clear long Our map "Shapefiles" were found here: https://international.ipums.org/international/gis.shtml Related video: Gathering and cleaning World Bank data https://youtu.be/XabX_Gw5xN8 Channel: @Mike Jonas Econometrics My Twitter is: https://twitter.com/MichaelRJonas
