Required stata commands

1. renvarlab
2. labmask
3. insheetjson
4. libjson
5. egenmore
6. outreg2
7. sepscatter
8. estout
9. ivreghdfe - which requires ivreg2, reghdfe (version 5.x), ftools, and moremata. See https://github.com/sergiocorreia/ivreghdfe

Therefore, your life will be easier if you do this

ssc install renvarlab
ssc install labmask
ssc install insheetjson
ssc install libjson
ssc install egenmore
ssc install outreg2
ssc install sepscatter
ssc install estout

before running any code.

Installing ivreghdfe is a bit more involved

* Install ftools (remove program if it existed previously)
cap ado uninstall ftools
net install ftools, from("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sergiocorreia/ftools/master/src/")

* Install reghdfe
cap ado uninstall reghdfe
net install reghdfe, from("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sergiocorreia/reghdfe/master/src/")

* Install boottest (Stata 11 and 12)
if (c(version)<13) cap ado uninstall boottest
if (c(version)<13) ssc install boottest

* Install moremata (sometimes used by ftools but not needed for reghdfe)
cap ssc install moremata

* Install ivreg2, the core package
cap ado uninstall ivreg2
ssc install ivreg2

* Finally, install this package
cap ado uninstall ivreghdfe
net install ivreghdfe, from(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sergiocorreia/ivreghdfe/master/src/)

External data

We get external data from from https://fred.stlouisfed.org/. You'll need an API key and you can store it in stata with

set fredkey <yourkey>, permanently

Pre-processed data

You can get the outputs of wrapper1_data_extraction.do and wrapper2_data_processing_common.do from

/home2/mlee/EconomicFishCondition/data_folder/external and /home2/mlee/EconomicFishCondition/data_folder/main. These will be updated sporadically.
