The README provides details on the datasets that should be downloaded from the UK Data Service website to replicate the presented results, and also explains the ordering of the Stata do-files. The Stata do-files contain all of the code necessary to replicate the tables shown in the main text and supplementary material. <br><br>UPDATE: An additional README and corrected do-file have been posted to fix several missing data values in the data cleaning syntax (see "README- Corrigendum Update" and "1.
