Notes on Econometrics in R

This note summarizes several tools for traditional econometric analysis using R. The CRAN Task View - Econometrics provides a very comprehensive overview of available econometrics packages in R. Rather the duplicate this resource, I will highlight several functions and tools that accommodate 95% of my econometric analyses.

Packages and functions

Linear Regression

• stats::lm - the standard OLS routine included in the base R package stats. The call summary(lm(y ~ x1 + x2, data = mydata)) produces output most similar to reg y x1 x2 in Stata.
• lfe - Linear Fixed Effects models. In addition to efficiently handling high-dimension fixed effects, the workhorse function felm also supports instrumental variables and clustered standard errors. As it improves lm by incorp
