Economics students new to both Econometrics and R may find the tasks of learning both a bit daunting. However, if your text is **"Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach"** by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge, then you are in luck!
Economics students new to both Econometrics and **R** may find the tasks of learning both a bit daunting. However, if your text is **"Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach"** by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge, then you are in luck!

The `wooldridge` data package aims to lighten the task by loading any data set from the text with a single command. The package contains documentation for each data set and all data has been efficiently compressed resulting in a total size that is **62.73%** of its original. Just install the package, load it, and call the data set you need to work with.

_**But wait...there's more!**_ Act now (or at anytime) and you will receive the :sparkles: [`wooldridge-vignette`](https://github.com/JustinMShea/wooldridge/tree/master/vignettes/wooldridge-vignette.pdf).:sparkles: The vignette illustrates how to recreate examples provided in the text, offering a relevant introduction to getting started with R's econometric modelling syntax.

While the course companion site also provides publicly available data sets for E-views, Excel, MiniTab, and Stata commercial software products, **R** is an open source option. Furthermore, taking the step to use R while building a foundation in Econometrics, offers the curious Student a gateway to accessing advanced topics available in the R package ecosystem.

**Note:** All data sets are from the 5th edition (Wooldridge 2013, `ISBN-13: 978-1-111-53104-1`), which is compatible with most other editions.
