  • contains the relevant data sets necessary to replicate all analyses
  • export is an empty directory that is populated when measurement.R runs.
• plots is an empty directory that is populated when panelmatch.R runs.
• measurement.R replicates the measurement models used in the paper and generates the data set data/export/df_new.RData used in all subsequent analyses.
• panelmatch.R replicates the main analyses of the paper
• dropouts.R replicates the analysis assessing attrition bias between the three waves.
