Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Included are replication files for the Journal of Economic History manuscript titled "In the Shadow of the Mushroom Cloud: Nuclear Testing, Radioactive Fallout and Damage to U.S. Agriculture, 1945 to 1970." This paper studies the adverse effects radioactive fallout from atmospheric nuclear testing had on crop yields and livestock populations in the United States.
The project was written in STATA as part of my dissertation and the data was gathered from a myriad of sources. Unzip the files to a directory and replication requires that only the working directory be changed in the .DO files.
