This file is here to document the replication package for the choice model estimated in Johanna Mollerstrom, Bjørn-Atle Reme, Erik Ø. Sørensen, Luck, choice and responsibility — An experimental study of fairness views, Journal of Public Economics, Volume 131, 2015, Pages 33-40, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpubeco.2015.08.010.
data/DataErik.dta and data/situations.dta: Data
preprocess.do (and .log): Stata dataprocessing script which takes the files created above and creates data/DataErik_long.dta and data/DataErik_players.dta.
luck-model.Rmd: R file with definition of data structures, log likelihood functions, standard error calculations and such. No actual estimation is done by this file. luck-model.{R,html} are products of this file. The html-file has explanations of how the likelihood function is calculated as well. An explicit design goal for the code is to be value explicit typing and design of data structures and straightforward calculation above computational speed. But an understanding of the R S4 object system might be necessary to fully understand the code here.
luck-main-table.Rmd: R file with estimation code for Table 6 in the paper. luck-main-table.html is the file with calculated output.
insurance_no_insurance: R file with estimation code for Table 8 in the paper. insurance_no_insurance.html is the file with calculated output.
pooling_with_extension.Rmd: R file with estimation code for Table 9 in the paper. pooling_with_extension.html is the file with calculated output.
predictions.do: Stata file that do predictions to generate Table 7. Generates predictions.log
The html files are readable with standard browsers. The three files with estimation code relies on the luck-model.R file for its functions. It might be wise to study one of the generated .html files with calculated results from the .Rmd files to see what installed packages are needed. The library file luck-model.Rmd also relies on setting R to work with 8 processor cores. For a different computer, this should be changed to reflect the computer it is running on.
