Econometric Software: A User's View
这篇综述从用户角度评估了七款计量经济学软件（Limdep、RATS、SAS、Stata、SST、TSP和Gauss）在六个不同项目中的表现，帮助经济学家选择最适合的工具。
For the social scientist, software is a tool, not an end in itself. My objective in this review is to help practicing economists decide which tool will best get the task done. To do this, I report on how seven programs performed on each of six different econometric projects. I focus on Limdep, RATS, SAS, Stata, SST, and TSP and I more briefly review Gauss, which is a rather different product. Comments on other aspects of the programs are sprinkled throughout.
