This is a Mata function written together with my PhD colleague Giuseppe Ilardi. It is exactly the Mata equivalent of the R function rtnorm() allowing random generation for the truncated Normal distribution with mean equal to m and standard deviation equal to s (before truncation), and truncated on the interval [lower, upper].

The following image describes more or less as my ambitions have evolved over the past 3 years!

This post just to explain how to install a user written mata function.
You have to follow a very simple procedure:
- Make a copy of the function_name.mata file in your personal ADO directory;
- Compile the updated source code:
- Save the compiled source in a .mo file in your personal directory:
- The function is actually part of your official Mata.
do 'your PERSONAL dir path'/function_name.mata
mata: mata mosave function_name(), dir(PERSONAL)

- Contagious FTAs: New evidence on the domino theory of regionalismRichard Baldwin, Dany Jaimovich, 2 September 2010As WTO trade talks languish, what’s driving the surge in regional trade agreements?

This dynamic is more of a challeng […]
