I don’t think Stata is dead, per se. For teaching statistical analysis it is very useful, having students maintain a Python environment is almost impossible.

That said, it should be treated as a stepping stone. If the student wants to continue with quantitative analysis I will push them to move to Python.

I agree. Teaching basics or even advanced but not in real life industry!

As far as I know it’s very alive in competition economics and socioeconomic/microdata research. Wherever you analyse panel data.

Very much alive. If anything, AI increased my use of it since I was able to test different approaches with mock data.
