Taber (2005), “An Evaluation of Instrumental Variable Strategies for Estimating the Effects of Catholic Schooling,” Journal of Human Resources 40, 791-821. Professor Elder kindly provided a subset of the data, with some variables stripped away for confidentiality reasons. Data loads lazily.

Students learning both econometrics and R may find the introduction
to both challenging. The wooldridge data package aims to lighten the task by efficiently
loading any data set found in the text with a single command. Data sets have been
compressed to a fraction of their original size. Documentation files contain page numbers,
the original source, time of publication, and notes from the author suggesting avenues for
further analysis and research. If one needs an introduction to R model syntax, a
vignette contains solutions to examples from chapters of the text.
Data sets are from the 7th edition (Wooldridge 2020, ISBN-13 978-1-337-55886-0),
and are backwards compatible with all previous versions of the text.
