This file explains how to replicate our results. Memo completed March 24, 2023 by Martin Kreidl. All computations and data preparation procedures were carried out in STATA 16 4MP. Obtain SHARE data from the archive (https://share-eric.eu/data/). Place the following data sets (or their newer releases, in STATA format “.dta”) into your working directory: sharew1_rel7-0-0_ch.dta, sharew1_rel7-0-0_cv_r.dta, sharew1_rel7-0-0_dn.dta, sharew1_rel7-0-0_ep.dta, sharew1_rel7-0-0_gv_isced.dta sharew2_rel7-0-0_ch.dta, sharew2_rel7-0-0_cv_r.dta, sharew2_rel7-0-0_dn.dta, sharew2_rel7-0-0_ep.dta, sharew2_rel7-0-0_gv_isced.dta sharew4_rel7-0-0_ch.dta, sharew4_rel7-0-0_cv_r.dta, sharew4_rel7-0-0_dn.dta, sharew4_rel7-0-0_ep.dta, sharew4_rel7-0-0_gv_isced.dta sharew5_rel7-0-0_ch.dta, sharew5_rel7-0-0_cv_r.dta, sharew5_rel7-0-0_dn.dta, sharew5_rel7-0-0_ep.dta, sharew5_rel7-0-0_gv_isced.dta sharew6_rel7-0-0_ch.dta, sharew6_rel7-0-0_cv_r.dta, sharew6_rel7-0-0_dn.dta, sharew6_rel7-0-0_ep.dta, sharew6_rel7-0-0_gv_isced.dta Data set up is accomplished in a series of “preparatory do-files”. Run them in the following sequence: prepar1_w1.do prepar1_w2.do prepar1_w4.do prepar1_w5.do prepar1_w6.do prepar2_merge_SHARE_W1toW6.do This last file produces the main data set for further analyses. There are 4 analytical do-files. analyze_main1.do (contains the core analysis). There are and 3 additional files with further robustness checks or alternative “replications” that resulted from our conversations with reviewers. These are called: analyze_replication1.do (it tries to replicate Y&H as closely as possible, including sample and variables) analyze_replication2.do (adds geographical distance as a control variable) analyze_replication3.do (adds age of the youngest child as a control variable).
