Replication Data for: Mechanisms of Persistence

#README #Introduction This directory contains all of the necessary datasets and R scripts to replicate the analysis in Besley and Reynal-Querol (2014) as well as Bowles, Bullock, and Mazumder (2016). To replicate the results, we recommend that you use RStudio. If you have any questions, please contact either Jeremy Bowles (jbowles[at]g.harvard.edu), Jessie Bullock (jbullock[at]g.harvard.edu), or Shom Mazumder (smazumder[at]g.harvard.edu). #Instructions Note: All directory structures and file paths are with reference to the main replication directory. To ensure that there are no file path issues, please use the \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION.rproj\" file in RStudio. ##Replicating Besley and Reynal-Querol (2014) (1) Navigate to the main directory titled \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/\" (2) Open up the file titled \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION.rproj\" in RStudio (3) Within RStudio, vavigate to the directory titled \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/02_Analysis/Replication/\" (4) Run the script titled \"batch_replicate_tables.R\" To replicate individual tables in Besley and Reynal-Querol (2014), simply open up the R script for the relevant table 'table_x.r' you wish to replicate and run that script in RStudio. ##Replicating Bowles, Bullock, and Mazumder (2016) (1) Navigate to the main directory titled \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/\" (2) Open up the file titled \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION.rproj\" in RStudio (3) Within RStudio, vavigate to the directory titled \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/02_Analysis/Final_Paper/\" (4) Run the script titled \"batch.R\" To replicate specific analyses in the research note, navigate to the relevant directory within \"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/02_Analysis/Final_Paper/\" and run the individual R script associated with each empirical section.

# 自述文件 # 简介
本目录包含复现Besley与Reynal-Querol（2014）以及Bowles、Bullock与Mazumder（2016）两项研究的分析所需的全部数据集与R脚本。我们推荐使用RStudio完成结果复现。如有任何疑问，请联系Jeremy Bowles（jbowles[at]g.harvard.edu）、Jessie Bullock（jbullock[at]g.harvard.edu）或Shom Mazumder（smazumder[at]g.harvard.edu）。
# 操作说明
注意：所有目录结构与文件路径均以主复现目录为参考基准。为避免出现文件路径问题，请在RStudio中使用"GOV_2001_REPLICATION.rproj"项目文件。
## 复现Besley与Reynal-Querol（2014）的结果
1. 导航至名为"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/"的主目录
2. 在RStudio中打开名为"GOV_2001_REPLICATION.rproj"的项目文件
3. 在RStudio中导航至名为"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/02_Analysis/Replication/"的目录
4. 运行名为"batch_replicate_tables.R"的脚本
若需单独复现Besley与Reynal-Querol（2014）中的单张表格，只需打开你需要复现的对应表格的R脚本"table_x.r"，并在RStudio中运行该脚本即可。
## 复现Bowles、Bullock与Mazumder（2016）的结果
1. 导航至名为"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/"的主目录
2. 在RStudio中打开名为"GOV_2001_REPLICATION.rproj"的项目文件
3. 在RStudio中导航至名为"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/02_Analysis/Final_Paper/"的目录
4. 运行名为"batch.R"的脚本
若需复现该研究短论中的特定分析，请进入"GOV_2001_REPLICATION/02_Analysis/Final_Paper/"下的对应目录，并运行每个实证章节对应的独立R脚本。
