README

This repo facilitates the replication of my paper titled "Benefits and Costs of Dual and Informal Apprenticeship in Bénin".

Prerequisites

Stata, SPSS, and R (preferably RStudio) are necessary to fully reproduce paper.

The following default path is used in the scripts below:

"/Volumes/nadel/research/Data/PhDs/Bart 2022/Paper 3 - CQP"

If data is copied into a different directory, path names have to be adjusted where indicated below.

Replication

The paper can be replicated from raw data in three steps, executed in the following order:

1. open Stata do file "master.do" in the root folder, enter new user path if needed and run
2. open SPSS syntax "master.sps" in the root folder, enter new user path if needed and run
3. open R script "master.R" in the root folder, enter new user path if needed and run

The final step generates a PDF called "cnb_apprenticeship.pdf" in the "markdown" folder. This is the replicated paper.

If you have any questions about replicating this paper, please see comments in the scripts above or contact the author at bartlomiej.kudrzycki[at]nadel.ethz.ch
