restatr
Reproduce Stata results in R and Python.
SSC modules like ivreg2, reghdfe, and xtabond2 are invaluable tools in applied economics. While the modules themselves are open source, typically licensed under the GPL v3 or the MIT license, using them to reproduce published results requires a copy of Stata. restatr uses LLM assistance to port these user-contributed tools to R and Python. Each resulting package is rigorously validated against the Stata original.
Packages
