Maps in Stata

This lecture will cover packages requirements, different layer types (points, lines, polygons), shapefiles, map projections, and data structures required for making maps. We will also learn how to import shapefiles, merge data layers, generate choropleth or heat maps with an overview of customization options. Participants should have access to Stata 17 (ideally Stata 18), have an internet connection to install Stata packages, and have access to data files.
