Sorry this might be a little bit long post and not related to the forum at all. I do not know.
I am a freshman masters degree student that is taking Stata class in relation to interpreting accounting research papers for research purposes however we are not mainly learning Stata. It is more of learning simple commands to interpret some tables that the professor chose. Even, this semester was my first time to hear about Stata and I feel really really really lost.
For our final exam, our professor decided to make us choose a research paper and conduct a replication on our own. I am really intimidated and it feels like I am in the middle of the ocean without help. He did not even give directions to which paper we should be used. All what he asked us to do it to use both CRISP and COMPUSTAT together.
I do not know if this is the right place to ask but I would appreciate if somebody can guide me with anything. Or even if there is another website that can help me with this. I would be even thankful if somebody can suggest a certain Financial Accounting research paper that they know can fit a beginner like me.

I would really appreciate anyyyy help.
