title: Replication data for: Can Information Change Personal Retirement Savings? Evidence from Social Security Benefits Statement Mailings

description: Despite concern about the viability of public retirement programs and potential undersaving for retirement, we still know little about the impact of government provided information on individual behavior. We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in exposure to the world's largest personalized retirement benefits statement from the US Social Security Administration to evaluate the effects of information and encouragement on individual retirement savings decisions. Using three natural experiments between 2011 and 2014 and administrative data, we find no impact of the statements on individual retirement savings in their employer provided retirement accounts.

title: Replication data for: Cross-Country Differences in Household Stock Market Participation: The Role of Gender Norms

description: What explains substantial variation across countries in household stock market participation? Building on Ke (2018), I hypothesize that the prevailing gender norm in a country is an important cultural factor. In a cross-country analysis, I find that households in countries with strong gender norms are less likely to participate in the stock market. In addition, I present suggestive evidence that gender role attitudes help explain cross-country differences in participation among the wealthy. My findings underscore the role of social norms in shaping household balance sheets across countries.

title: Replication data for: Time and Money: Social Security Benefits and Intergenerational Transfers

description: I examine the relationship between Social Security benefits, a major component of income in older age, and intergenerational transfers of financial help and caregiving. I find that the net pass-through rate of Social Security benefits from parents to children is about 15 percent, including only monetary inter vivos transfers. Parents with higher Social Security benefits provide more hours of help to children in the form of grandchild care, even though children significantly withdraw caregiving to parents along this dimension. Taken together, these results are consistent with parental altruism and have strong implications for the distributional consequences of Social Security reform.

title: Replication data for: In Debt and Approaching Retirement: Claim Social Security or Work Longer?

description: Over the past couple of decades, older Americans have become considerably more leveraged. This paper considers whether household debt affects the timing of retirement and Social Security benefit claiming. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, we find that older adults with debt are more likely to work and less likely to receive Social Security benefits than those who are debt-free. Indebted adults are also more likely to delay fully retiring from the labor force and claiming their benefits. Among the sources of debt, mortgages have a stronger impact on older adults' behavior than do other sources of debt.

title: Replication data for: The Changing Face of Debt and Financial Fragility at Older Ages

description: We investigate changes in older individuals' financial fragility as they stand on the verge of retirement. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we compare how debt has changed for successive cohorts of people age 56–61. Our analysis shows that recent older Americans close to retirement hold more debt, and hence face greater financial insecurity, than earlier generations. This is primarily due to having bought more expensive homes with smaller down payments. We discuss possible policy implications.

title: Replication data for: Big Data and Firm Dynamics

description: We study a model where firms accumulate data as a valuable intangible asset. Data accumulation affects firms' dynamics. It increases the skewness of the firm size distribution as large firms generate more data and invest more in active experimentation. On the other hand, small data-savvy firms can overtake more traditional incumbents, provided they can finance their initial money-losing growth. Our model can be used to estimate the market and social value of data.

title: Replication data for: Minding Your Ps and Qs: Going from Micro to Macro in Measuring Prices and Quantities

description: Key macro indicators such as output, productivity, and inflation are based on a complex system across multiple statistical agencies using different samples and levels of aggregation. The Census Bureau collects nominal sales, the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects prices, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis constructs nominal and real GDP using these data and other sources. The price and quantity data are integrated at a high level of aggregation. This paper explores alternative methods for reengineering key national output and price indices using item-level data. Such reengineering offers the promise of greatly improved key economic indicators along many dimensions.

title: Replication data for: Measuring Productivity: Lessons from Tailored Surveys and Productivity Benchmarking

description: We use tailored surveys and benchmarking in the flat-weave rug industry to better understand the shortcomings of standard productivity measures. Quantity-based productivity (TFPQ) performs poorly because of variation in product specifications across firms. Controlling for specifications aligns TFPQ with lab benchmarks. We also collect quality metrics to construct quality productivity (the ability to produce quality given inputs) and find substantial dispersion across firms. This motivates interest in multidimensional productivity, or capability. As quality productivity is negatively correlated with TFPQ, revenue-based productivity (TFPR) may perform better at capturing capabilities in settings where better firms make products with more demanding specifications that have greater input requirements.

title: Preizkus DistoX2 Calibration Cube

description: <strong>Opis problema</strong> Pojavila se je naprava za umerjanje DistoX, ki me je spodbudila k temu, da sem preizkusil umerjanje DistoX z njo in brez nje. Poročilo o ugotovitvah je objavljeno v članku v Glasu podzemlja 2020 (na voljo tudi tu). <strong>Opis datotek</strong> Podatki so razvrščeni takole: Podmapa "Izvorni" vsebuje datoteke, ki jih je neposredno izvozil TopoDroid; Podmapa "Pretvorjeni" vsebuje ročno pretvorjene podatke iz mape "Izvorni" v nadaljnji obdelavi prijaznejšo obliko datoteke. Ročno sem jim dodal stolpec "Ime", ki pove, s katerega na katero oglišče trikotnika je merjeno. Kjer je TopoDroid zaradi neustreznih nastavitev podobne meritve samodejno združeval v vizure in meritev ni izvozil, sem te meritve ročno pretipkal z zaslona telefona. Podmapa "Urejeni" vsebuje vse podatke, ki vstopajo v samodejno obdelavo s programom DistoX.R. To so podatki iz mape "Pretvorjeni" z morebitnimi ročnimi popravki (vrstnega reda vizur ob pomotah, dolžine vizur če se je žarek kje prekmalu ustavil, ...) in datoteka seznam_podatkov.txt, ki vsebuje seznam datotek, ki jih obdela program, s kratkimi opisi (predvsem opisi ročnih popravkov). Podmapa "Ostali" vsebuje zapiske, ki niti ne vstopajo v program niti niso izvoženi iz TopoDroid-a, a bi bili lahko zanimivi. DistoX.R je program za obdelavo podatkov. Program DistoX.py služi samo risanju grafa. K preizkušanju so bistveno pripomogli Marjan Baričič, Matic Di Batista, Gregor Pintar, Peter Prevec, Janez Strojan starejši in Rafko Urankar-Cile.

title: Replication data for: Aggregation and the Gravity Equation

description: One of the most successful empirical relationships in international trade is the gravity equation. A key decision for researchers in estimating this relationship is the level of aggregation, since the gravity equation is log linear, whereas aggregation involves summing the level rather than the log of trade. In this paper, we derive a Jensen's inequality correction term for nested constant elasticity of substitution preferences, such that a log-linear gravity equation holds exactly for each nest. We provide evidence that sectoral composition is quantitatively relevant for the aggregate effect of distance on international trade, particularly for more disaggregated definitions of sectors.

title: Replication data for: Dollar Invoicing and the Heterogeneity of Exchange Rate Pass-Through

description: We show empirically that the variation across country pairs in exchange rate pass-through and trade elasticity is meaningfully explained by the dollar's dominance as invoicing currency. We use a hierarchical Bayesian approach to directly and flexibly model pass-through heterogeneity conditional on the invoicing currency share. We estimate that the importer's country-level dollar invoicing share explains 15 percent of the overall variance across trading pairs in dollar exchange rate pass-through into bilateral prices.

title: Replication data for: Generational Differences in Managing Personal Finances

description: In this article, we provide a descriptive account of how people from different generations vary in their use of financial management technology, their access credit markets, and how they finance consumption and incur financial costs and penalties. We use a detailed panel of transaction-level data from Iceland on individual spending, incomes, balances, and credit limits from a personal financial management software. We find that technology adoption is faster for millennials, but use of consumer credit and financial penalties are higher for older generations. While the "coholding puzzle" exists for all people, it appears to be more severe for baby boomers.

title: Replication data for: How FinTech Enters China's Credit Market

description: How does FinTech credit mitigate local credit supply frictions in China's segmented credit market? In our simple theoretical models, we show that FinTech credit (i) expands the extensive margin of credit to borrowers of lower credit scores and (ii) provides relatively more credit to borrowers with lower credit scores. We confirm both predictions based on comprehensive data from one of China's largest FinTech credit providers.

title: Replication data for: A Cautionary Tale about Emergency Financial Assistance without Services: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluation at a Community College

description: Community college completion rates are extremely low, especially among low-income students. One potential explanation is that low-income students have limited capacity to overcome financial shocks, such as large medical, legal, or car repair bills. Some programs offer "emergency financial assistance" (EFA) to prevent these events from curtailing educational progress. We test the efficacy of EFA within the context of a broader randomized controlled trial at a community college in Texas. We find no evidence that access to EFA alone leads to improved outcomes. We speculate that EFA will only be effective if it is paired with additional case management services.

title: Replication data for: Exploring Variation in College Counselor Effectiveness

description: Several recent studies have investigated the impact of college advising on whether students enter and succeed in postsecondary education. These papers generally find positive impacts from advising, yet few explore the extent of heterogeneity in impacts between program counselors. We take advantage of quasi-random counselor assignment to explore variation and correlates of college counselor effectiveness using rich administrative data on adviser-advisee interactions from a multisite randomized control trial of a college advising program. Large overall effects on college enrollment from the advising intervention are consistent across counselors; there is little relationship between counselor characteristics or behaviors and student outcomes.
