Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary
Replication files for The Return to Education in the Mid-20th Century: Evidence from Twins, published in the Journal of Economic History 2020.

This folder includes all the replication code to generate figures and tables for this project. However, the complete count census data is restricted. All required data lives on the NBER server and can only be accessed by researchers with approval from IPUMS and NBER. 

With access, the replication files will all work with one change: the `project_path` variable needs to be set to a folder you can write to. All output expects to be saved to a folder called `output` in the project path.
