Angrist and Krueger (1991)

 

Does compulsory school attendance affect schooling and earnings?

Notes: This posting includes three data sets. The first is a minimal 1980 ASCII extract without covariates.  This data set was used in Angrist and Krueger (1995) and Angrist, Imbens, and Krueger (1999). Second, an ASCII data set in the file QOB.rar, which contains the 1980 census extract from Angrist and Krueger (1991) with covariates (men born 1930-39 and 1940-49). Third, NEW7080.rar, a larger Stata data set with the complete original Angrist and Krueger 1970 and 1980 extracts, and all cohorts (men born 1920-29 in 1970, men born 1930-39 in 1980, and men born 1940-49 in 1980).

Data: Click on the link to download the data:

  • asciiqob.zip contains a minimal 1980 ASCII file;  You can use this file - ak91.sas - to read it
  • QOB.rar includes an ASCII file with the 1980 census extract. This file - Descriptive Statistics QOB.txt - shows what's in it.
  • NEW7080.rar includes a Stata file with the original 1970 and 1980 census data including all cohorts and covariates

Programs: The Stata programs below produce published tables from Angrist and Krueger (1991) using the data in NEW7080.rar

  • QOB Table IV.do creates Tables IV (cohort 20.29); see QOB_IV.log for log file
  • QOB Table V.do creates Table V (cohort 30.39); see QOB_V.log for log file
  • QOB Table VI.do creates Table VI (cohort 40.49); see QOB_VI.log for log file
