Statistical Replication Files

Here are all of the statistical replication files for the manuscript. Currently available in Stata.
Importantly, the data file from GSS was too large to upload. To start from the beginning, simply
use the 1972-2018 download from GSS.
Otherwise, begin with our second data file. (data00-import)

Note, when transposing our Figure 2 from our file (see what we provided) to the manuscript, the copy editors misinterpreted the effect sizes, changing 10 percent (.1) to 1 percent (.01). Unfortunately we didn't catch this in the final review of the manuscript, but there was an errata published.
