• programs: nine programs in total for replication
  • 0_setup.do – installs necessary STATA packages; only needs to be run once.
  • main_prog.do – runs the full analysis to create figures, tables, and numbers cited in the text
  • programs/fig_1.do - reads in birth rates from CDC Final Births Reports to produce figure 1 - birth rates overall.
  • programs/figs_2a_2b.do - reads in birth rates from CDC Final Births Reports to produce figures 2a and 2b - birth rates by mother's age group and birth rates by mother's race/ethnicity.
  • programs/fig_2c.do - reads in births data from CDC WONDER and population data from the CPS to create figure 2c, births among Hispanic women by nativity and Mexican origin.
  • programs/fig_2d.do - reads in aggregated births data and population data from the CPS to create figure 2d, births by mother's educational level.
  • programs/fig_2e.do - reads in birth rate data from the CDC Final Births Reports to produce figures 2e - birth rates by marital status.
  • programs/fig_2f.do - reads in aggregated births data and population from CDC SEER to create figure 2f, birth rates by parity.
  • programs/fig_3.do - reads in aggregated births data and population from CDC SEER to create figure 3, a map displaying percent change in average birth rates from 2004- 2008 to 2015-2018.
