The Labor Dynamics Institute has four goals: [1] study and improve labor market outcomes of workers through digital tools; more generally [2] improve access to and understanding of data sources for the study of the labor market; and improve the [3] transparency and accessibility of economics research to enhance its credibility. We have added an additional dimension in 2025, [4] connecting researchers in economics to each other in more effective ways.
 

We will be creating a new resource for Stata users, including tools for users to integrate with the resource, natively in Stata. The intern will initially be testing Stata code, and will be subsequently writing Stata code that will be published on the Stata package repository (SSC). The intern will also help assess usability of a new website supporting/replacing SSC, and contribute to testing automation and human interaction functionality of the website. 

Some Stata knowledge is required. Some Python knowledge is required. Comfortable interacting with AI coding agents, including being able to verify the output. A Data Science background is an advantage.

Most of the team is remote over the summer. Some opportunities to interact will be available on campus in May, June, and August.
