Announcement

East Asia Training & Consultancy, a distributor of Stata in Thailand, is pleased to announce the first Thai Stata Users Group meeting to be held at the Faculty of Economics, Chiang Mai University, on January 30, 2009.

Call for papers

Presentation topics might include

• discussion of user-written Stata programs,
• case studies of research or teaching using Stata,
• discussions of data-management problems,
• reviews of analytical issues, and
• surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields, etc.

Doi Suthep is a constant part of life in Chiang Mai. A Thai saying goes, "If you haven't tasted Khao Soi or seen the view from Doi Suthep, you haven't been to Chiang Mai." This regal mountain overlooks the city from the northwest, providing commanding views from its summit.

We would like to put special emphasis on applications of Stata in econometric and time-series modeling. Please email the scientific organizers if you are interested in presenting a paper, and indicate whether you wish to give

• a 20-minute talk (followed by a 10-minute discussion),
• a 10-minute talk (followed by a 5-minute discussion), or
• a longer review or tutorial (about an hour).

If you would like to discuss the suitability of a potential contribution, please contact the scientific organizers.

The conference language will be English. However, if there is demand among participants for Thai language presentations, we will provide special sessions.

Please send submissions to the scientific organizers by December 30, 2008.

The meeting will include the usual “Wishes and grumbles” session during which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers. A detailed program will be announced later.

The organizers look forward to hearing from you with presentation offers or to discuss the suitability of a potential contribution. Confirmation of the program will be circulated in December 2008.

Climate

Potential visitors to Thailand might like to know that Chiang Mai has a tropical climate but is cooler and less humid than elsewhere in Thailand. Temperatures range from 13 to 29 degrees Celsius. Temperatures are at their lowest in December/January, and it is chilly enough to require a warm jacket.
