Replication Exercise

Replicating a paper is a great way to learn how empirical work is practiced. In this exercise,
we ask you to read a paper published in economics, and then we will guide you in replicating
the main results. You may use whatever software you like, although programming hints will
be provided for Stata only. Many of the commands that we ask you to run in Stata are also
available in Stata’s dropdown menu. You can use it, but make sure to write each command
in a do-file as we have shown in class.
Please hand in, via bCourses, three files: (i) your log file, (ii) your do-file, (iii)
and a concise write up of your answers to the questions below.
You are welcome to work in groups of up to 3 but you must each upload your own submission
to bcourses and write the names of people you worked with at the top of your write up.
