Abstract. As explained in the Editorial announcements at the start of this
issue, the Stata Journal will be featuring various interviews with
selected members of the Stata community in 2010, Stata’s 25th
anniversary year. In this issue, we start with an online interview, dated
October 14, 2009, of Christopher F. “Kit” Baum, an economics
professor at Boston College. Kit has been highly active as a Stata user
since the 1990s, contributing as an author and associate editor to this
journal and its predecessor, the Stata Technical Bulletin; as a
much-downloaded Stata program author; as an author of two notable
Stata-based texts; as a frequent participant on Statalist and at Users Group
meetings in both the United States and several European countries; and as
founder and maintainer for more than a decade of the SSC archive, which now
contains many hundred user-written Stata packages. In this interview, he
comments on how he got into Stata and adds his own speculations for the
future.
