My first empirical paper, written for Murray Leibbrandt's UCT Stata course, investigated the changes in South African fertility using 2001 census data. I vividly remember struggling to match the textbook definition of fertility with the data that was available in the census and then, while washing the car (and, Helanya, there is no causality here), experienced a Eureka moment and rushed to the computer, soaking wet, to type in the precious code that would give me a semi-decent essay mark.
