Replication

The repository is set up to make it transparent how the final PDF is constructed from the raw data. To replicate, you will need a Linux or Mac OX machine that has the following installed:

1. R
2. pdflatex
3. make
4. gpg
5. curl
6. gs (GhostScript)

To replicate the data analysis, you will need several R packages. However, when you run the code below, it should obtain all these R-specific dependencies you need.

Build the PDF

From /wages_of_paycuts, run:

cd writeup
make -B wages_of_paycuts.pdf
