Replicating Tables and Figures:

The files in this folder replicate all the tables and figures in the
paper. These are Tables2-Table5 (Table 1 is reproduced from Bloom et
al (2013) Table 1) and Figures 1-3.

How to replicate the tables:
1. Run createdata.do
   This creates the .dta files needed for the tables from the master
   files. It needs the files in the folder inputdata/
   
2. Run alltables.do: 
   1. The file calls (in sequence) table2.do, table3.do, table4.do and
      table5.do and figures.do
      
   2. Each table*.do file resides in a folder called table*/ and
   figures.do resides in figures/
   
   3. The required .dta files for constructing each table reside in the
      corresponding table folder
