title: Replication data for: The Doctor Might See You Now: The Supply Side Effects of Public Health Insurance Expansions

description: In the United States, public health insurance programs cover over 90 million individuals. Expansions of these programs, such as the recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), may have large effects on physician behavior. This study finds that following the implementation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), physicians decreased the number of hours spent with patients, but increased their program participation. Suggestive evidence shows that this decrease resulted from shorter office visits. These findings are consistent with the predictions from a mixed-economy model of physician behavior and provide evidence of crowd out resulting from the creation of SCHIP. (JEL H75, I11, I13, I18)

title: Replication data for: Distributive Politics and Electoral Incentives: Evidence from Seven US State Legislatures

description: We study the effect of electoral incentives on the allocation of public services across legislative districts. We develop a model in which elections encourage legislators to cater to parochial interests and thus aggravate the common pool problem. Using unique data from seven US states, we study how the amount of funding that a legislator channels to his district changes when he faces a term limit. We find that legislators bring less pork to their district when they cannot seek re-election. Consistent with the Law of 1/N, this last term reduction in funding is smaller in states with many legislative districts. (JEL D72, H70)

title: Replication data for: Underemployment and the Trickle-Down of Unemployment

description: A substantial fraction of workers are underemployed, i.e., employed in jobs for which they are overqualified, and that fraction—the underemployment rate—is higher in recessions. To explain these facts, we build a search model with an endogenous "ranking" mechanism, in which high-skill applicants are systematically hired over less-skilled competing applicants. Some high-skill workers become underemployed in order to escape the competition for high-skill jobs and find a job more rapidly at the expense of less-skilled workers. Quantitatively, the model can capture the key characteristics of underemployment, notably the fact that both the underemployment rate and the wage loss associated with becoming underemployed increase in recessions.

title: Replication data for: Separating Bayesian Updating from Non-Probabilistic Reasoning: An Experimental Investigation

description: Through a series of decision tasks involving colored cards, we provide separate measures of Bayesian updating and non-probabilistic reasoning skills. We apply these measures to (and are the first to study) a common-value Dutch auction. This format is more salient than the strategically equivalent first-price auction and silent Dutch formats in hinting that one should condition one's estimate of the value on having the highest bid. Both Bayesian updating skills and non-probabilistic reasoning skills are shown to help subjects correct for the winner's curse, as does the saliency of the active-clock Dutch format.

title: Replication data for: Unpacking the Long-Run Effects of Tariff Shocks: New Structural Implications from Firm Heterogeneity Models

description: I derive a novel solution for the general equilibrium effects of tariffs that is robust to heterogeneity across industries and countries, and is a function of only aggregate trade data and country-by-industry Pareto shape parameters. Using the model to evaluate tariff shocks, I show that while most countries lose by removing observed tariffs unilaterally, India, Japan, Korea, and the United States gain by doing so, which suggests inefficient tariff discrimination. In evaluating multilateral shocks, observed tariff cuts over 1994–2000 benefit 69 percent of countries, with these benefits skewed toward developing nations. In contrast, removing all post-2000 tariffs benefit the developed. (JEL F12, F13, F14)

title: Replication data for: Check in the Mail or More in the Paycheck: Does the Effectiveness of Fiscal Stimulus Depend on How It Is Delivered?

description: Recent fiscal policies, including the 2008 stimulus payments and the 2009 Making Work Pay Tax Credit, aimed to increase household spending. This paper quantifies the spending response to these policies and examines differences in spending by whether the stimulus was delivered as a one-time payment or as a flow of payments from reduced withholding. Based on responses from a representative sample of households in the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers, the paper finds that the reduction in withholding in 2009 boosted spending at roughly half the rate (13 percent) as the one-time payments (25 percent) in 2008.

title: Replication data for: Fiscal Spending Jobs Multipliers: Evidence from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

description: This paper estimates the "jobs multiplier" of fiscal stimulus spending using the state-level allocations of federal stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Because the level and timing of stimulus funds that a state receives was potentially endogenous, I exploit the fact that most of these funds were allocated according to exogenous formulary allocation factors such as the number of federal highway miles in a state or its youth share of population. Cross-state IV results indicate that ARRA spending in its first year yielded about eight jobs per million dollars spent, or $125,000 per job. (JEL E24, E62, H72, H75, R23)

title: Replication data for: Surviving the Global Financial Crisis: Foreign Ownership and Establishment Performance

description: We examine the differential response of establishments to the recent global financial crisis with particular emphasis on the role of foreign ownership. Using a worldwide establishment panel dataset, we investigate how multinational subsidiaries around the world responded to the crisis relative to local establishments. We find that, first, multinational subsidiaries fared on average better than local counterfactuals with similar economic characteristics. Second, among multinational subsidiaries, establishments sharing stronger vertical production and financial linkages with parents exhibited greater resilience. Finally, in contrast to the crisis period, the effect of foreign ownership and linkages on establishment performance was insignificant in noncrisis years. (JEL F23, G01, L22, M16)

title: Replication data for: The Redistributional Impact of Nonlinear Electricity Pricing

description: Electricity regulators often mandate increasing-block pricing (IBP)—i.e., marginal price increases with the customer's average daily usage—to protect low-income households from rising costs. IBP has no cost basis, raising a classic conflict between efficiency and distributional goals. Combining household-level utility billing data with census data on income, I find that IBP in California results in modest wealth redistribution, but creates substantial deadweight loss relative to the transfers. I also show that a common approach to studying income distribution effects by using median household income within census block groups may be misleading. (JEL D31, L11, L51, L94, L98, Q41, Q48)

title: Replication data for: Cracks in the Melting Pot: Immigration, School Choice, and Segregation

description: We examine whether low-skilled immigration to the United States has contributed to immigrants' residential isolation by reducing native demand for public schools. We address endogeneity in school demographics using established Mexican settlement patterns in California and use a comparison group to account for immigration's broader effects. We estimate that between 1970 and 2000, the average California school district lost more than 14 non-Hispanic households with children to other districts in its metropolitan area for every 10 additional households enrolling low-English Hispanics in its public schools. By disproportionately isolating children, the native reaction to immigration may have longer-run consequences than previously thought. (JEL H75, I21, J15, J24, J61, R23)

title: Project ROOTS

description: This study used a randomized controlled trial design to investigate the ROOTS curriculum, a 50-lesson kindergarten mathematics<br>intervention. Ten ROOTS-eligible students per classroom (n = 60) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions:<br>a ROOTS five-student group, a ROOTS two-student group, and a no-treatment control group. Two primary research questions<br>were investigated as part of this study: What was the overall impact of the treatment (the ROOTS intervention) as compared<br>with the control (business as usual)? Was there a differential impact on student outcomes between the two treatment conditions<br>(two- vs. five-student group)? Initial analyses for the first research question indicated a significant impact on three<br>outcomes and positive but nonsignificant impacts on three additional measures. Results for the second research question,<br>comparing the two- and five-student groups, indicated negligible and nonsignificant differences. Implications for practice are<br>discussed.<br><br>

title: Replication data for: Team versus Individual Play in Finitely Repeated Prisoner Dilemma Games

description: In finitely repeated prisoner dilemma games, two-person teams start with significantly less cooperation than individuals, consistent with results from the psychology literature. This quickly gives way to teams cooperating more than individuals. Team dialogues show increased payoffs from cooperation, along with anticipating opponents’ recognition of the same, provides the basis for cooperation, even while fully anticipating defection near the end game. A strong status quo bias in defecting across super-games limits unraveling. Defecting typically occurs one round earlier across super-games, consistent with low marginal, or even negative, benefits of more than one-step-ahead defection. (JEL C72, C73, C90, D12)

title: Replication data for: Internal Geography, International Trade, and Regional Specialization

description: We introduce an internal geography to the canonical model of international trade driven by comparative advantages to study the regional effects of external economic integration. The model features a dual-economy structure, in which locations near international gates specialize in export-oriented sectors while more distant locations do not trade with the rest of the world. The theory rationalizes patterns of specialization, employment, and relative incomes observed in developing countries that opened up to trade. We find regional specialization patterns consistent with the model in industry-level data from Chinese prefectures. (JEL F11, O18, P23, P25, P33, R12, R32)

title: Replication data for: Falling Dominoes: A Theory of Rare Events and Crisis Contagion

description: Crises, such as revolutions and currency attacks, rarely occur; but when they do they typically arrive in waves. The rarity of crises is an important contagion mechanism in a multiple-country dynamic global game model. When players are uncertain about the true model of the world, observing a rare success elsewhere can substantially change their expectations concerning the payoffs from attacking or defending the regime. Such dramatic revisions in beliefs, amplified by strategic complementarity in actions, may lead to a series of attacks in other countries. The crisis period can be long-lasting, but will eventually come to an end. (JEL D74, D83, F33, G01)

title: Spinel/melt partition coefficient experiments

description: This dataset presents compiled experimental mineral/melt partitioning data for spinel from the literature (e.g. no unpublished collections). This dataset can help users to calculate differentiation scenarios (by sorting for compositions that match the system of interest), test models or create calibration datasets for models, and facilitate experimental design and data management plans. The format of the data is oriented vertically – each column represents the data from one published experiment – including experimental conditions, source publication, analytical techniques and the composition of the starting composition, liquid, mineral or fluid and the partition coefficient for the elements analyzed. This format is inclusive, and therefore complex, and care should be taken in processing the data from this raw form. Please see the “Readme" tab for further explanations and instructions. This data is presented in the traceDs template, a format for documenting experimental data that is available on the EarthChem website for investigator use. If you find errors in the data transcription or any omissions please contact Roger Nielsen or Gokce Ustunisik (roger.nielsen@sdsmt.edu; gokce.ustunisik@sdsmt.edu) with details of the error or a copy of the paper to be added.
