No full textThis includes the data and Stata code to replicate the results in the JAERE article. In order to replicate the results, create a folder on your computer. Then add each of the compressed folders that are listed as tar files (note: search for ".tar" in the list of files) into that folder. The folder dataRaw has two tar files associated with it that should be combined into a single folder dataRaw. Then create empty folders titled "figures", "logs", and "tables" as running the code will add files into these folders. Download the file "ReadMe.docx" and follow the instructions in the Word document to replicate the results

Nathan Newsom diary
No full textNarrative account entitled "A Short summary of a journey, taken by volunteers from Gallia County; for the purpose of destroying Indians and the invasion of Canada," written by Nathan Newsom. Newsom was an orderly sergeant in Captain Calvin Shepard's company from Gallia County, Ohio, during the War of 1812. This volume conveys conditions experienced by soldiers during the war, including low pay, shortages of food and clothing, low morale, and severe weather conditions. Newsom also describes the cooperation of the army with friendly Indians and the disciplinary measures taken for desertion and other offenses
Potential Benefits from Innovations to Reduce Heat and Water Stress in Agriculture

Hendricks, "Potential Benefits from Innovations to Reduce Heat and Water Stress in Agriculture," Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists 5, no. 3 (July 2018): 545-576. https://doi.org/10.1086/697305A key challenge in determining the optimal research and development (R&D) investment portfolio for adapting to climate change in agriculture is to understand the potential benefits from reducing alternative sources of climate damages. Existing econometric studies are not able to separately identify the impacts of heat and water stress because higher temperatures cause damages through both mechanisms. To resolve the identification problem, I introduce measures of water deficit and water surplus into a regression analysis that estimates the nonlinear impacts of heat and water stress on nonirrigated rental rates in the central United States. The results indicate rental rate losses of 33% ($9.5 billion annually) by mid-century due to climate change in scenario RCP 4.5. I find that 65% of the projected damages are due to heat stress, 32% due to increasing water deficit, and 3% due to increasing water surplus. However, the source of damages varies spatially

Grouped Coefficients to Reduce Bias in Heterogeneous Dynamic Panel Models with Small T
No full textCitation: Nathan P. Hendricks & Aaron Smith (2015) Grouped coefficients to reduce bias in heterogeneous dynamic panel models with small T, Applied Economics, 47:40, 4335-4348, DOI: 10.1080/00036846.2015.1029112We propose the grouped coefficients estimator to reduce bias in dynamic panels with small T that have a multilevel structure to the coefficient and factor loading heterogeneity. If groups are chosen such that the within-group heterogeneity is small, then the grouped coefficients estimator can lead to substantial bias reduction compared to pooled GMM dynamic panel estimators. We also propose using a Wald test that can be used to assess whether pooled estimators suffer from heterogeneity bias. We illustrate the usefulness of grouped coefficients with an application to labour demand in which the coefficients are grouped by sub-sector. Our results suggest that the standard pooled estimates are substantially biased
