Personal Website of Robert W. Pettis, PhD

I enjoy coding and as such, I am interested in producing helpful code as a service. I plan on depositing the most current versions of my code for this purpose here. Once they get to a certain point, I may open them up for public revision on Github.

Event Study

This is an early version of some code intended to produce professional quality event study graphs for applied microeconomic applications. This is an early stage and there are a few things you will need to know if you intend to use the code in this state. Please contact me if you are interested. The code can be found here: Event Study .do file.

pettis_event is not an official Stata command. Please cite it if you use it: Robert Pettis. 2021. pettis_event: Stata command for producing professional event study graphs.

Community Crime Map Crawler

A crawler intended for scraping crime data from LexisNexis' Community Crime Map.
Crime Crawler .py file.

I got permission from the legal department at LexisNexis to scrape their site. Please do the same if you intend on using this code.
