On this page you may found all Stata do-files for the analyses in the paper. The names of the do-files required for each analysis can found in the paper.

With the master do-file you can replicate every analysis in the paper. For this you need to download all do-files. This is most easily be done with the following Stata commands

. net from http://www.wzb.eu/~kohler/publications/refgroup05
. net get do

In what follows you can found a complete list of the do-files in the order of the time of development.

Note: Some of the do-files will require the installation of additional Stata programs. These programs are available on the SSC-archive.
