This set of data files include the raw data produced from the baseline and endline surveys. Additionally, accompanying do-files generate the tables that are used in the final report

---

Instructions:

1. Unzip the surveydata_full_initialize.dta.zip in the usedata folder.
2. In the master do-file (`0 master_dofile_analysis.do) update the global pathways to reflect your local directories.
3. Ensure required packages are installed.
4. Run the remaining commands within the master do-file to recreate the analysis. Note that initialize.do generates surveydata_full_clean.dta, which is the main data file used in regressions.

Included Data (usedata)

1. surveydata_full_initialize.dta : This is the cleaned, merged, baseline and endline data set
2. terminal_summary.dta: Terminal report data needed for Figure 6, final report.
3. SPESBenefsandBudget.pdf: This is the data for Figure 11, final report.

Packages:

• outreg2 is required to output regression tables
