To analyze the data, I used the program STATA in Version 17.0.

* Description of the ZIP File
*******************************************************************************************************************

The ZIP file includes 6 do-files, numbered accordingly. It is crucial to specify your paths in the do-file 0_master.do. 
It is helpful to adopt the folder structure with one folder containing the do-files, one folder containing the original dataset, and one final folder used to store the output.


The order of the do-files is as follows: 

* Specifying of paths and running of all do-files
0_master.do

* Construction of couple dataset (selection of important variables, 
* appending of different waves, merge of anchor and partner dataset)
1_couples.do

* Construction of variables 
2_manipulation.do

* Selection of sample (age, children, etc.)
3_sampleclean.do

* Results of descriptive analysis 
4_description.do

* Results of multivariate analysis
5_multivariate.do
