Hi Stefan,

Tks for your advice.

snipped

Installation went through w/o problem.

library(Ecdat)
data()

Data sets in package ‘datasets’  NOT 'Ecdat'

??Ecdat
...
Ecdat::Caschool         The California Test Score Data Set
Ecdat::Griliches        Wage Datas
Ecdat::MCAS             The Massashusets Test Score Data Set
Ecdat::MunExp           Municipal Expenditure Data
Ecdat::Orange           The Orange Juice Data Set
Ecdat::Solow            Solow's Technological Change Data
Ecdat::TranspEq         Statewide Data on Transportation Equipment
                       Manufacturing
....


Those files are in Ecdat packages.

Caschool
Error: object 'Caschool' not found

MCAS
Error: object 'MCAS' not found

Because loading the package does not necessarily register the datasets:

> require(Ecdat)
Loading required package: Ecdat
> data()  #------> produces a large list including
Car                              Stated Preferences for Car Choice
Caschool                         The California Test Score Data Set
Catsup                           Choice of Brand for Catsup
Cigar                            Cigarette Consumption

Error in str(Caschool) : object 'Caschool' not found

> data(Car)

'data.frame':   4654 obs. of  70 variables:
$ choice : Factor w/ 6 levels "choice1","choice2",..: 1 2 5 5 5 5 2 5 5 2 ...
 $ college   : num  0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 ...
 $ hsg2      : num  0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 ...

Note that this dataset was NEVER  spelled "car".

I found the datasets of AER

cool.

detach("package:AER", unload = TRUE)

detach(package:AER) works for me.

data()
still found "car" there.

you mean "cars" ? This is not part of AER but in a base R installation.

install.packages("EcDat")

Where can I download/install EcDat?  TIA

It is case sensitive, try install.packages("Ecdat") it works for me...

Maybe you should try a little bit more...
