Six additional data sets have been added to the 6th edition of “Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach” by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge. This package contains those data sets: approval, catholic, census2000, countymurders, econmath, and meapsingle.

These data have been collectively compressed to 23.34% of the original size. The wooldridge6 data package is designed to complement the wooldridge package, which contains all 105 data sets from the 5th edition of the text. Using both wooldridge and wooldridge 6 packages in concert, one can seamlessly access all data for “Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach, 6th edition” with R’s data() function (Wooldridge 2016, ISBN-13: 978-1-305-27010-7).
