Replication US files for "A proposal for constructing and evaluating core inflation measures" LAJCB 2023 #100094
Description
This package contains instructions, MATLAB codes, data and results for "A proposal for constructing and evaluating core inflation measures". With it you can replicate core inflation results for the U.S. The source of detailed inflation data is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Files
Steps to reproduce
Requisites: Matlab 2021a or newer. 1. unzip folder "CFS2023_LAJCB_replication_US.zip" in the path you would like to use it. After doing unzip you will find the following subfolders: - Codes: This folder contains the Matlab files that generate the different figures and tables. - Countries\US: This folder contains the -critical- codes that generate US result. - Directory: This folder contains all the functions, data (for the US) and subroutines that we used on the paper. - papers: contains the WP and the published versions - figures: This folder contains all the figures generated by procedure, ordered as follows: "...\figures\figintro" -> figures of the Stylized facts section "...\figures\barfig" -> figure 9 "...\figures" -> other figures - tables: This folder contains the table inserted in figure 9. 2. Change the directory path to direct Matlab to your disk location. To do that open "setWorkRoute.m" and edit lines 2-7 inserting your path. 3. run "Main.m" file in the Matlab console. 4. Enjoy!
