Money Matters: The Role of Yields and Profits in Agricultural Technology Adoption

This repository contains the data and Stata programs (version 14) required to replicate the tables and figures in Michler et al. (2019) as well as the associated appendices. The programs generate all summary tables and figures. In order to construct the final regression tables, some manual editing (and copying/pasting across files) is required, so we do not reproduce them here. However, all relevant numbers are in the regression output generated by the programs files listed below.

The programs are as follows:

mm_master_program.do replicates the all tables and graphics in the paper. This program will run all subsidiary .do files.
mm_pub_tables.do replicates the regression results in the paper and the appendix. Specifically Tables 3-5 and B1-D1. Plus Figures 2-4 which are generated using regression results.
mm sum stats.do replicates the summary statistics tables plus MW-tests in the paper and the appendix. Specifically Tables 1-2, 6, and A1.
mm graphs.do replicates Figures 1, A1-A3.

The data are included in mm.dta. Several of the programs produce additional data files as inputs into regressions contained in the .do files.

Note that the code requires installing the Stata package randcoef as discussed in Barriga Cabanillas et al. (2018) and tuple.
