We include Stata syntax (dummy_dataset_create.do) that creates a panel dataset for negative binomial time series regression analyses, as described in our paper "Examining methodology to identify patterns of consulting in primary care for different groups of patients before a diagnosis of cancer: an exemplar applied to oesophagogastric cancer". We also include a sample dataset for clarity (dummy_dataset.dta), and a sample of that data in a spreadsheet (Appendix 2).

The variables contained therein are defined as follows:

case: binary variable for case or control status (takes a value of 0 for controls and 1 for cases).

patid: a unique patient identifier.

time_period: A count variable denoting the time period. In this example, 0 denotes 10 months before diagnosis with cancer, and 9 denotes the month of diagnosis with cancer,

ncons: number of consultations per month.

period0 to period9: 10 unique inflection point variables (one for each month before diagnosis). These are used to test which aggregation period includes the inflection point.

burden: binary variable denoting membership of one of two multimorbidity burden groups.

We also include two Stata do-files for analysing the consultation rate, stratified by burden group, using the Maximum likelihood method (1_menbregpaper.do and 2_menbregpaper_bs.do).

Note: In this example, for demonstration purposes we create a dataset for 10 months leading up to diagnosis. In the paper, we analyse 24 months before diagnosis. Here, we study consultation rates over time, but the method could be used to study any countable event, such as number of prescriptions.

This package includes Stata do file and the main Stata datasets used to generate tables (Table 1, Table 3, Table 4, Table A1, and Table 7) for the article titled "The Geography of Investor Attention". Due to data restrictions and the utilization of multiple datasets in the paper, we provide a subsample of the main dataset, with pseudo firm identifiers, to aid in understanding both the code's structure and the main dataset employed.

analyze the current population survey (cps) annual social and economic supplement (asec) with r the annual march cps-asec has been supplying the statistics for the census bureau's report on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage since 1948. wow. the us census bureau and the bureau of labor statistics ( bls) tag-team on this one. until the american community survey (acs) hit the scene in the early aughts (2000s), the current population survey had the largest sample size of all the annual general demographic data sets outside of the decennial census - about two hundred thousand respondents. this provides enough sample to conduct state- and a few large metro area-level analyses. your sample size will vanish if you start investigating subgroups b y state - consider pooling multiple years. county-level is a no-no. despite the american community survey's larger size, the cps-asec contains many more variables related to employment, sources of income, and insurance - and can be trended back to harry truman's presidency. aside from questions specifically asked about an annual experience (like income), many of the questions in this march data set should be t reated as point-in-time statistics. cps-asec generalizes to the united states non-institutional, non-active duty military population. the national bureau of economic research (nber) provides sas, spss, and stata importation scripts to create a rectangular file (rectangular data means only person-level records; household- and family-level information gets attached to each person). to import these files into r, the parse.SAScii function uses nber's sas code to determine how to import the fixed-width file, then RSQLite to put everything into a schnazzy database. you can try reading through the nber march 2012 sas importation code yourself, but it's a bit of a proc freak show. this new github repository contains three scripts: 2005-2012 asec - download all microdata.R down load the fixed-width file containing household, family, and person records import by separating this file into three tables, then merge 'em together at the person-level download the fixed-width file containing the person-level replicate weights merge the rectangular person-level file with the replicate weights, then store it in a sql database create a new variable - one - in the data table 2012 asec - analysis examples.R connect to the sql database created by the 'download all microdata' progr am create the complex sample survey object, using the replicate weights perform a boatload of analysis examples replicate census estimates - 2011.R connect to the sql database created by the 'download all microdata' program create the complex sample survey object, using the replicate weights match the sas output shown in the png file below 2011 asec replicate weight sas output.png statistic and standard error generated from the replicate-weighted example sas script contained in this census-provided person replicate weights usage instructions document. click here to view these three scripts for more detail about the current population survey - annual social and economic supplement (cps-asec), visit: the census bureau's current population survey page the bureau of labor statistics' current population survey page the current population survey's wikipedia article notes: interviews are conducted in march about experiences during the previous year. the file labeled 2012 includes information (income, work experience, health insurance) pertaining to 2011. when you use the current populat ion survey to talk about america, subract a year from the data file name. as of the 2010 file (the interview focusing on america during 2009), the cps-asec contains exciting new medical out-of-pocket spending variables most useful for supplemental (medical spending-adjusted) poverty research. confidential to sas, spss, stata, sudaan users: why are you still rubbing two sticks together after we've invented the butane lighter? time to transition to r. :D

The NATCOOP project set out to study how nature shapes the preferences and incentives of economic agents and how this in turn affects common-pool resource management. Imagine a group of fishermen targeting a species that requires a lot of teamwork to harvest. Do these fishers become more social over time compared to fishers that work in a more solitary manner? If so, does this have implications for how the fishery should be managed? To study this, the NATCOOP team travelled to Chile and Tanzania and collected data using surveys and economic experiments. These two very different countries have a large population of small-scale fishermen, and both host several distinct types of fisheries. Over the course of five field trips, the project team surveyed more than 2500 fishermen with each field trip contributing to the main research question by measuring fishermen’s preferences for cooperation and risk. Additionally, each fieldtrip aimed to answer another smaller research question that was either focused on risk taking or cooperation behavior in the fisheries. The data from both surveys and experiments are now publicly available and can be freely studied by other researchers, resource managers, or interested citizens. Overall, the NATCOOP dataset contains participants’ responses to a plethora of survey questions and their actions during incentivized economic experiments. It is available in both the .dta and .csv format, and its use is recommended with statistical software such as R or Stata. For those unaccustomed with statistical analysis, we included a video tutorial on how to use the data set in the open-source program R.

September 1., 2016 REPLICATION FILES FOR «THE IMPACT OF STATE TELEVISION ON VOTER TURNOUT», TO BE PUBLISHED BY THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF POLITICAL SCIENCE The replication files consist of two datasets and corresponding STATA do-files. Please note the following: 1. The data used in the current microanalysis are based on the National Election Surveys of 1965, 1969, and 1973. The Institute of Social Research (ISF) was responsible for the original studies, and data was made available by the NSD (Norwegian Center for Research Data). Neither ISF nor NSD are responsible for the analyses/interpretations of the data presented here. 2. Some of the data used in the municipality-level analyses are taken from NSD’s local government database (“Kommunedatabasen”). The NSD is not responsible for the analysis presented here or the interpretation offered in the BJPS-paper. 3. Note the municipality identification has been anonymized to avoid identification of individual respondents. 4. Most of the analyses generate Word-files that are produced by the outreg2 facility in STATA. These tables can be compared with those presented in the paper. The graphs are directly comparable to those in the paper. In a few cases, the results are only generated in the STATA output window. The paper employs two sets of data: I. Municipal level data in entered in STATA-format (AggregateReplicationTVData.dta), and with a corresponding data with map coordinates (muncoord.dta). The STATA code is in a do-file (ReplicationOfAggregateAnalysis.do). II. The survey data is in a STATA-file (ReplicationofIndividualLevelPanel.dta) and a with a corresponding do-file (ReplicationOfIndividualLevelAnalysis 25.08.2016.do). Please remember to change the file reference (i.e. use-statement) to execute the do-files.

This exercise dataset was created for researchers interested in learning how to use the models described in the "Handbook on Impact Evaluation: Quantitative Methods and Practices" by S. Khandker, G. Koolwal and H. Samad, World Bank, October 2009 (permanent URL http://go.worldbank.org/FE8098BI60). Public programs are designed to reach certain goals and beneficiaries. Methods to understand whether such programs actually work, as well as the level and nature of impacts on intended beneficiaries, are main themes of this book. Has the Grameen Bank, for example, succeeded in lowering consumption poverty among the rural poor in Bangladesh? Can conditional cash transfer programs in Mexico and Latin America improve health and schooling outcomes for poor women and children? Does a new road actually raise welfare in a remote area in Tanzania, or is it a "highway to nowhere?" This handbook reviews quantitative methods and models of impact evaluation. It begings by reviewing the basic issues pertaining to an evaluation of an intervention to reach certain targets and goals. It then focuses on the experimental design of an impact evaluation, highlighting its strengths and shortcomings, followed by discussions on various non-experimental methods. The authors also cover methods to shed light on the nature and mechanisms by which different participants are benefiting from the program. The handbook provides STATA exercises in the context of evaluating major microcredit programs in Bangladesh, such as the Grameen Bank. This dataset provides both the related Stata data files and the Stata programs.

Article Title: Does the Disclosure of Group Members’ Identities Affect Cooperation? Evidence from an Artefactual Public Good Field Experiment

Authors: Nils Christian Hoenow

Abstract

Social dilemmas in the real world, such as pollution and the extraction of resources, often differ regarding the visibility of involved parties and their behavior. While publicly disclosing individual decisions in social dilemma situations is known to result in more cooperation, there is little research on whether it makes a difference if individual identities are revealed or not. This study uses an artefactual public good field experiment conducted in rural Namibia with 144 villagers, who are randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions: One that does not disclose group members’ identities and one that does. Individual contributions to the public good remain private in both cases, so the difference between the two conditions only lies in whether participants get to see who their group members are. In addition, the experiment’s setting in village communities entails pre-existing social ties between participants, which likely amplify potential effects that revealing identities can have on cooperation and allow investigating the role of group composition, such as the share of friends and family members. Results show that contributions to the public good are significantly higher in the condition that does not allow group members to identify each other, which can be explained by theories of social identity and depersonalization, specifically the “social identity model of deindividuation effects” (Reicher et al. 1995). The variability of contributions, however, does not differ across the two experimental conditions. Exploratory analyses further reveal that contributions in the identified condition are distinctly lower when group members are socially distant to each other.

Understanding Society, (UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the survey research organisations Verian Group (formerly Kantar Public) and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991.

The Understanding Society: Calendar Year Dataset, 2023, is designed for analysts to conduct cross-sectional analysis for the 2023 calendar year. The Calendar Year datasets combine data collected in a specific year from across multiple waves and these are released as separate calendar year studies, with appropriate analysis weights, starting with the 2020 Calendar Year dataset. Each subsequent year, an additional yearly study is released.

The Calendar Year data is designed to enable timely cross-sectional analysis of individuals and households in a calendar year. Such analysis can however, only involve variables that are collected in every wave (excluding rotating content which is only collected in some of the waves). Due to overlapping fieldwork the data files combine data collected in the three waves that make up a calendar year. Analysis cannot be restricted to data collected in one wave during a calendar year, as this subset will not be representative of the population. Further details and guidance on this study can be found in the xxxx_main_survey_calendar_year_user_guide_2023.

These calendar year datasets should be used for cross-sectional analysis only. For those interested in longitudinal analyses using Understanding Society please access the main survey datasets: Safeguarded (End User Licence) version or Safeguarded/Special Licence version.

Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study, started in 2009 with a general population sample (GPS) of UK residents living in private households of around 26,000 households and an ethnic minority boost sample (EMBS) of 4,000 households. All members of these responding households and their descendants became part of the core sample who were eligible to be interviewed every year. Anyone who joined these households after this initial wave, were also interviewed as long as they lived with these core sample members to provide the household context. At each annual interview, some basic demographic information was collected about every household member, information about the household is collected from one household member, all 16+ year old household members are eligible for adult interviews, 10-15 year old household members are eligible for youth interviews, and some information is collected about 0-9 year olds from their parents or guardians. Since 1991 until 2008/9 a similar survey, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), was fielded. The surviving members of this survey sample were incorporated into Understanding Society in 2010. In 2015, an immigrant and ethnic minority boost sample (IEMBS) of around 2,500 households was added. In 2022 a GPS boost sample (GPS2) of around 5,700 households was added. To know more about the sample design, following rules, interview modes, incentives, consent, questionnaire content please see the study overview and user guide.

End User Licence and Special Licence versions:

There are two versions of the Calendar Year 2023 data. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement, and the other is a Special Licence (SL) version. The SL version contains month and year of birth variables instead of just age, more detailed country and occupation coding for a number of variables and various income variables have not been top-coded (see document '9471_eul_vs_sl_variable_differences' for more details). Users are advised to first obtain the standard EUL version of the data to see if they are sufficient for their research requirements. The SL data have more restrictive access conditions; prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version. The main longitudinal versions of the Understanding Society study may be found under SNs 6614 (Safeguarded (EUL)) and 6931 (Safeguarded/SL).

Low- and Medium-level geographical identifiers produced for the mainstage longitudinal dataset can be used with this Calendar Year 2023 dataset, subject to SL access conditions. See the User Guide for further details.

Suitable data analysis software

These data are provided by the depositor in Stata format. Users are strongly advised to analyse them in Stata. Transfer to other formats may result in unforeseen issues. Stata SE or MP software is needed to analyse the larger files, which contain about 1,800 variables.

analyze the survey of consumer finances (scf) with r the survey of consumer finances (scf) tracks the wealth of american families. every three years, more than five thousand households answer a battery of questions about income, net worth, credit card debt, pensions, mortgages, even the lease on their cars. plenty of surveys collect annual income, only the survey of consumer finances captures such detailed asset data. responses are at the primary economic unit-level (peu) - the economically dominant, financially interdependent family members within a sampled household. norc at the university of chicago administers the data collection, but the board of governors of the federal reserve pay the bills and therefore call the shots. if you were so brazen as to open up the microdata and run a simple weighted median, you'd get the wrong answer. the five to six thousand respondents actually gobble up twenty-five to thirty thousand records in the final pub lic use files. why oh why? well, those tables contain not one, not two, but five records for each peu. wherever missing, these data are multiply-imputed, meaning answers to the same question for the same household might vary across implicates. each analysis must account for all that, lest your confidence intervals be too tight. to calculate the correct statistics, you'll need to break the single file into five, necessarily complicating your life. this can be accomplished with the meanit sas macro buried in the 2004 scf codebook (search for meanit - you'll need the sas iml add-on). or you might blow the dust off this website referred to in the 2010 codebook as the home of an alternative multiple imputation technique, but all i found were broken links. perhaps it's time for plan c, and by c, i mean free. read the imputation section of the latest codebook (search for imputation), then give these scripts a whirl. they've got that new r smell. the lion's share of the respondents in the survey of consumer finances get drawn from a pretty standard sample of american dwellings - no nursing homes, no active-duty military. then there's this secondary sample of richer households to even out the statistical noise at the higher end of the i ncome and assets spectrum. you can read more if you like, but at the end of the day the weights just generalize to civilian, non-institutional american households. one last thing before you start your engine: read everything you always wanted to know about the scf. my favorite part of that title is the word always. this new github repository contains t hree scripts: 1989-2010 download all microdata.R initiate a function to download and import any survey of consumer finances zipped stata file (.dta) loop through each year specified by the user (starting at the 1989 re-vamp) to download the main, extract, and replicate weight files, then import each into r break the main file into five implicates (each containing one record per peu) and merge the appropriate extract data onto each implicate save the five implicates and replicate weights to an r data file (.rda) for rapid future loading 2010 analysis examples.R prepare two survey of consumer finances-flavored multiply-imputed survey analysis functions load the r data files (.rda) necessary to create a multiply-imputed, replicate-weighted survey design demonstrate how to access the properties of a multiply-imput ed survey design object cook up some descriptive statistics and export examples, calculated with scf-centric variance quirks run a quick t-test and regression, but only because you asked nicely replicate FRB SAS output.R reproduce each and every statistic pr ovided by the friendly folks at the federal reserve create a multiply-imputed, replicate-weighted survey design object re-reproduce (and yes, i said/meant what i meant/said) each of those statistics, now using the multiply-imputed survey design object to highlight the statistically-theoretically-irrelevant differences click here to view these three scripts for more detail about the survey of consumer finances (scf), visit: the federal reserve board of governors' survey of consumer finances homepage the latest scf chartbook, to browse what's possible.

Details of Repository Contents:

This repository includes a number of .zip archives which expand into folders containing either scripts for construction and analysis of the dataset or data files comprising the dataset itself. These folders are as follows:

• /csv: contains the .csv versions of the data files
• /do: contains Stata do-files used to convert the .csv files to .dta format and perform the statistical analyses set forth in the paper reporting this dataset
• /dta: contains the .dta versions of the data files
• /py: contains the python scripts used to download CIPO’s historical trademarks data via SFTP and generate the .csv data files

If users wish to construct rather than download the datafiles, the first script that they should run is /py/sftp_secure.py. This script will prompt the user to enter their IP Horizons SFTP credentials; these can be obtained by registering with CIPO at https://ised-isde.survey-sondage.ca/f/s.aspx?s=59f3b3a4-2fb5-49a4-b064-645a5e3a752d&lang=EN&ds=SFTP. The script will also prompt the user to identify a target directory for the data downloads. Because the data archives are quite large, users are advised to create a target directory in advance and ensure they have at least 70GB of available storage on the media in which the directory is located.

The sftp_secure.py script will generate a new subfolder in the user’s target directory called /XML_raw. Users should note the full path of this directory, which they will be prompted to provide when running the remaining python scripts. Each of the remaining scripts, the filenames of which begin with “iterparse”, corresponds to one of the data files in the dataset, as indicated in the script’s filename. After running one of these scripts, the user’s target directory should include a /csv subdirectory containing the data file corresponding to the script; after running all the iterparse scripts the user’s /csv directory should be identical to the /csv directory in this repository. Users are invited to modify these scripts as they see fit, subject to the terms of the licenses set forth above.

With respect to the Stata do-files, only one of them is relevant to construction of the dataset itself. This is /do/CA_TM_csv_cleanup.do, which converts the .csv versions of the data files to .dta format, and uses Stata’s labeling functionality to reduce the size of the resulting files while preserving information. The other do-files generate the analyses and graphics presented in the paper describing the dataset (Jeremy N. Sheff, The Canada Trademarks Dataset, 18 J. Empirical Leg. Studies (forthcoming 2021)), available at https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3782655). These do-files are also licensed for reuse subject to the terms of the CC-BY-4.0 license, and users are invited to adapt the scripts to their needs.

The python and Stata scripts included in this repository are separately maintained and updated on Github at https://github.com/jnsheff/CanadaTM.

This repository also includes a copy of the current version of CIPO's data dictionary for its historical XML trademarks archive as of the date of construction of this dataset.

Our dataset is based upon all the bankruptcy proceedings started by 688 companies over the 7 different tribunals of the Italian Veneto Region. Thanks to a collaboration with the Venice Chamber of Commerce, we inspected the archived bankruptcy files, gathering 4,965 bankruptcy documents from which we manually extracted the causes of firms’ default according to the taxonomy provided by Blazy et al. (2011, 2013). To make our procedure as rigorous as possible, we applied the Gioia Methodology (Gioia and Chittipeddi, 1991; Gioia et al., 2012), a systematic approach for new concepts development (see Gioia et al., 2012) applied to text analysis. Accordingly, two coders processed the legal papers and generated two independent classifications of causes of default. Comparing the two lists we then converged toward a unique classification of seven causes of default, in line with Blazy et al. (2011, 2013): Strategy, Production, Finance, Management, External environment, Outlets, and Accident. Then we collected accounting data from AIDA over the same time frame.

This study tests the efficacy of an intervention--Safe Public Spaces (SPS) -- focused on improving the safety of public spaces in schools, such as hallways, cafeterias, and stairwells. Twenty-four schools with middle grades in a large urban area were recruited for participation and were pair-matched and then assigned to either treatment or control. The study comprises four components: an implementation evaluation, a cost study, an impact study, and a community crime study. Community-crime-study: The community crime study used the arrest of juveniles from the NYPD (New York Police Department) data. The data can be found at (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-Arrests-Data-Historic-/8h9b-rp9u). Data include all arrest for the juvenile crime during the life of the intervention. The 12 matched schools were identified and geo-mapped using Quantum GIS (QGIS) 3.8 software. Block groups in the 2010 US Census in which the schools reside and neighboring block groups were mapped into micro-areas. This resulted in twelve experimental school blocks and 11 control blocks which the schools reside (two of the control schools existed in the same census block group). Additionally, neighboring blocks using were geo-mapped into 70 experimental and 77 control adjacent block groups (see map). Finally, juvenile arrests were mapped into experimental and control areas. Using the ARIMA time-series method in Stata 15 statistical software package, arrest data were analyzed to compare the change in juvenile arrests in the experimental and control sites. Cost-study: For the cost study, information from the implementing organization (Engaging Schools) was combined with data from phone conversations and follow-up communications with staff in school sites to populate a Resource Cost Model. The Resource Cost Model Excel file will be provided for archiving. This file contains details on the staff time and materials allocated to the intervention, as well as the NYC prices in 2018 US dollars associated with each element. Prices were gathered from multiple sources, including actual NYC DOE data on salaries for position types for which these data were available and district salary schedules for the other staff types. Census data were used to calculate benefits. Impact-evaluation: The impact evaluation was conducted using data from the Research Alliance for New York City Schools. Among the core functions of the Research Alliance is maintaining a unique archive of longitudinal data on NYC schools to support ongoing research. The Research Alliance builds and maintains an archive of longitudinal data about NYC schools. Their agreement with the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) outlines the data they receive, the process they use to obtain it, and the security measures to keep it safe. Implementation-study: The implementation study comprises the baseline survey and observation data. Interview transcripts are not archived.

This data file contains two (cross-section and panel) datasets (Stata), one Stata do-file, one R file to create Figure 3, and supplemental word document.

Three Stata datasets -- two at the county-level and one at the district-level -- and a Stata .do file with the code for all analyses in the paper. The compilation of the data is described in the online appendix, section B. The primary county-level dataset is ABH_full_county, and ABH_full_district is the dataset for the district-level analyses. The dataset with the suffix "_mod" is for a single set of supplementary analyses, as is clear from the .do file, which calls the appropriate files as necessary.

These datasets contain many economic variables related to agriculture like crop output value, profit and several others. These datasets can be used for testing several hypotheses related to agricultural economics, both at plot level and household level.

Users can also reproduce these datasets using the STATA 14 do file ‘VDSA data management for agricultural performance’. This STATA program file uses the Village Dynamics in South Asia (VDSA) raw data files in excel format. The resulting output will be two data files in stata format, one at plot level and other at household level.

These plot level and household level data sets are also included in this repository. The word file ‘guidelines’ contain instructions to extract VDSA raw data from VDSA knowledge bank and use them as inputs to run the STATA do file ‘VDSA data management for agricultural performance’

The VDSA raw data files in excel format needed to run the stata do file are also available in this repository for users convenience

The raw VDSA data were generated by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in partnership with Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Institutes and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) (Grant ID: 51937). The data were acquired in surveys by resident field investigators. Data collection was mostly through paper based questionnaires and Samsung tablets were also used since 2012. The survey instruments used for different modules are available at http://vdsa.icrisat.ac.in/vdsa-questionaires.aspx

Study sites were selected using a stepwise purposive sampling covering agro-ecological diversity of the region. Three districts within each zone were selected based on soil, climate parameters as well as the share of agricultural land under ICRISAT mandate crops. On similar lines, one typical sub-district within each district and two villages within each sub-district were selected. Within each village, ten random households from four landholding groups were selected.

Selected farmers were visited by well trained, agriculture graduate, resident field investigators, once every three weeks to collect information related to various socioeconomic indicators. Some of the data modules like details on crop cultivation activities including plot wise input, output was collected every three weeks while others like general endowments were collected once at the beginning of every agricultural year.

The compiled data, source data, data descriptions and data management code are all published in a public repository at http://dataverse.icrisat.org/dataverse/socialscience at https://doi.org/10.21421/D2/HDEUKU]

Some of the several benefits of these data are:

Scientists, students, development practitioners can benefit from these data to track changes in the livelihood options of the rural poor as this data provides long-term, multi-generational perspective on agricultural, social and economic change in rural livelihoods.

The survey sites provide a socio-economic field laboratory for teaching and training students and researchers

This dataset can be used for diverse agricultural, development and socio-economic analysis and to better understand the dynamics of Indian agriculture.

The data helps to provide feedback for designing policy interventions, setting research priorities and refining technologies.

Shed light on the pathways in which new technologies, policies, and programs impact poverty, village economies, and societies
