RDP 2023-01: The Effect of Credit Constraints on Housing Prices: (Further) Evidence from a Survey Experiment Read me file
January 2023
This ‘read me’ file contains the details of the supplementary material provided with RDP 2023-01. The ‘rdp-2023-01-graph-data.xlsx’ contains the publically available data used to plot Figures 1-9, B1-B6 and C1-C2. The data used to plot Figures 10-15 are not publically available.
Stata version 16.0 was used. Package fixsort is required.
The survey data is available from Fuster and Zafar (2021) at <https://doi.org/10.1257/pol.20150337>. Download the contents of ‘ReplicationMaterial/data/raw’ from that location and save it to the ‘data/raw’ folder in the RDP replication files, then the Stata do files below will find it.
Open and run RDP_replication_main.do. It calls the programs in the code folder. It creates the following tables:
- Table1_MainResults.tex
- Table2_Quintiles.tex
- Table3_FitComparison.tex
- Table4_Parameters.tex
- Appendix_table.tex
It also creates the figures up to Section 8 in the paper (in a different format), plus other figures. The graph data is also produced as part of this but in a less easy-to-use format than the ‘rdp-2023-01-graph-data.xlsx’ file.
Figures in Section 9 use non-publically available data so only the codes are included in the replication files. To run the code on the data run these files in order (located in folder ‘…code/code_for_nonpublic_data’):
- CompileSIHData.do
- ConstructYields.do
- SIH_data_construct.do (creates AUS data graphs)
- SeparateSIHData.do
- US_SWISS_ESP_Data.do
- ModelSimulations.do
