ietoolkit
At DIME we have developed a packge of Stata commands specially developed for impact evaluations but could also be useful in other contexts as well. The package is called ietoolkit and can be installed from the SSC server. To install the package, type ssc install ietoolkit in your Stata command window.
Please visit our github page for details: https://github.com/worldbank/ietoolkit
ietoolkit provides a set of commands that address different aspects of data management and data analysis in relation to Impact Evaluations. These include the following:
- ieduplicates and iecompdup are useful tools to identify and correct for duplicates, particulary in primary survey data
- iefolder sets up project folders and creates master do-files that links to all sub-folders
- iebaltab is a tool for multiple treatment arm balance tables
- iematch is an algortihm for matching observations in one group to "the most similar" observations in another group
- iegraph produces graphs of estimation results in common impact evaluation regression models
- ieboilstart standardizes the boilerplate code at the top of all do-files
- iedropone drops observations and controls that the correct number was dropped
- ieboilsave performs checks before saving a data set
