Code for reproducing analyses from the paper entitled "Federal Nutrition Assistance for Young Children: Under-utilized and Unequally Accessed"

Primary LanguageRMIT LicenseMIT

Project structure

The project contains two directories:

  • src - contains the R scripts for reproducing the analyses in the paper;
  • log - contains the outputs from the scripts in src.

The data used in the paper is not publicly available and therefore is omitted.

src directory

There are six scripts in the src directory. The results produced by each script are detailed below.

  • The scripts src/regions-model-full_reprex.R and src/regions-model-lowinc_reprex.R generate the results presented,respectively, in the second and third column in Table 1.

  • src/lowinc-model_reprex.R generates the results included in Table 2.

  • src/full-model_reprex.R fits the same model fitted in the low-income areas to all the centers. That is, it also includes the centers not located in low-income areas. The output of this model is also used to produce one of the maps presented in the paper (could not find the map in the paper).

  • src/lowinc-capacity-model_reprex.R fits the model to the low-income centers that also contain information on capacity.

  • src/split-maps_reprex.R uses the results from the model to produce maps of adjusted participation rates.
