Jacob Kirksey This memo documents the data files and analysis files used to generate the estimates found in “Academic Harms of Missing High School and the Accuracy of Current Policy Thresholds: Analysis of pre-registered administrative data from a California school district,” in AERAOpen, 2019.The data were requested by the researcher from a partnering school district. They are not publicly available, and the district must remain anonymous in accordance with IRB guidelines. Information that was available in the data is detailed in the manuscript, and these data are available from any school district in California. Thus, the Stata file can be used to generate Tables 1-5 in the paper using a different dataset. It is annotated throughout and produces the tables in sections that can be run independently..
