## How to Use the DIA-Toolkit

To replicate the simulations in the toolkit and the analysis in Part 7, start on `/estimation/master.do`. This master file sets global paths, sets the current directory and loads auxiliary programs.

Three files are avaiilable under `/estimation/gambia/`:

- `gambia_setup.do` sets up the data (which was provided by M. Blimpo, D.K. Evans and N. Lahire (2015): WB Policy Research WP 7238).
- `gambia_analysis.do` replicates all of Section 7.2
- `gambia_simulations.do` replicates the deconvolution estimates using simulated data designed to mimic our sample from The Gambia. (This file is called by `/estimation/simulations/simulations.do`.

These programs are available under `/programs/`:

- `dte.do` computes changes the distribution of marginal outcomes and its features. `dte.sthlp` documents the syntax (from Stata, run `help dte`).
- `bscr.do` computes simultaneous confidence regions and critical values from a bootstrap sample of estimators according to Romano and Wolf (2010). `bscr.sthlp` documents the syntax (from Stata, run `help bscr`).
