Replication package for Malloy, "An Index of Labor Bargaining Power and the Top of the Income Distribution." This repository holds the assembled index at three levels of aggregation, the source log that documents every input, and the code that builds the index and produces every table and figure in the paper. The paper's central object is a composite index of labor bargaining power, assembled only from institutional and structural causes and held apart from the distributional outcomes used to validate it. The index is the mean of the signed, standardized components present for an observation, requiring at least three. Its level within any unit is arbitrary and is absorbed by fixed effects throughout the paper, so the released series are comparable within a unit over time rather than across units.
