Files
Steps to reproduce
The code "M_analysis_debtors_EFH.do" is the main file. It calls all the other files sequentially to implement all the analysis of the article. “Impact_graph.do” creates Figure 1 in the paper. “Debt_motivations_InfoLaws.do” creates Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 in the paper. "AC_counterfactual_A.do" creates Figure 1 in the article and Figure A.2 in the appendix. "DemPriceWelfare_counterfactual_A_new.do" also creates the Figure 1 in the article and Figure A.2 in the appendix, but with better labels and in EPS format (instead of EMF format). "DPW_stats.do" and "DPWy_stats.do" create Table 9. "analysis_default_unemp_Aall.do" Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8 in the article. It also creates the random effect column estimates for Tables A.5, A.6 and A.7 in the appendix. "analysis_default_unemp_A.do" creates Tables A.1, A.2, A.3 and A.4 in the appendix. It also creates the column estimates without random effects for Tables A.5, A.6 and A.7 in the appendix. "analysis_default_unemp_Aall_6months.do" creates Table A.8 in the appendix. “analysis_default_unemp_Aall_margins.do” creates Tables A.9 and A.10 in the appendix, with the results of the estimated models in terms of margins. “Impact_graph.do” creates Figure A.1 in the appendix.
