The Gender Factor in Monetary Policy: A Database for an Event-Based Study

In the manuscript ‘The Gender Factor in Monetary Policy: An Event-Study Design’ we evaluate the gender factor in monetary policy. For this purpose, we considered the start of a new presidential term at a central bank as an event after which to assess possible changes in monetary policy and gender differences in these changes. To enable this type of analysis, we created a database with information on the start of the term of office of all central bankers—male or female—who served during the period 1980-2018. The file FGP_CBgender_appendix_data.dta contains this information for all central bankers of the central banks listed on the Bank for Institutional Settlements website. The data are organised by event (one row for each event). The file allows the tables in the article's appendix to be replicated using the commands in the FGP_CBgender_appendix_run.do file. The FGP_CBgender_paper_data.dta and FGP_CBgender_paper_run.do files provide the dataset and commands to replicate everything included in the body of the manuscript—figures and estimation results contained in the tables. The dataset only includes events that entered the estimation process, according to the selection procedure described in the manuscript (Section 3.2) and the exclusion of countries with missing data.在论文《货币政策中的性别因素：一项事件研究设计（Event-Study Design）》中，我们针对货币政策中的性别因素展开评估。为此，我们将中央银行行长的新一届任期启动设为事件节点，借此评估货币政策的潜在变化，以及此类变化中的性别差异。为开展此类分析，我们构建了一份数据库，收录了1980-2018年间履职的所有男女央行行长的任期起始信息。FGP_CBgender_appendix_data.dta文件收录了国际清算银行（Bank for International Settlements）官网所列全部中央银行的对应央行行长信息。该数据以事件为组织单位，每个事件对应一行数据。借助FGP_CBgender_appendix_run.do文件中的命令，可复现论文附录中的所有表格。 FGP_CBgender_paper_data.dta与FGP_CBgender_paper_run.do文件则提供了可复现论文正文全部内容的数据集与命令，包括正文表格中的图表与估计结果。根据论文中所述的筛选流程（3.2节），并剔除存在数据缺失的国家后，本数据集仅包含进入估计流程的事件。
