Overview

This repository includes code and instructions for replicating the figures and tables in the paper "Treatment Effects in Market Equilibrium", authored by Evan Munro, Stefan Wager and Kuang Xu. One main file runs all of the code to generate the data for the 3 figures and 3 tables in the paper. The replicator should expect the code to run for less than one hour.

The code requires a current Julia and R installation.

Data Availability and Provenance Statements

Statement about Rights

• I certify that the author(s) of the manuscript have legitimate access to and permission to use the data used in this manuscript.

Summary of Availability

• All data are publicly available.

Details on the Data

The only data source used is the replication package for the Filmer et al. (2023). The replication package is available on the Harvard Dataverse and is in the public domain.

Filmer, Deon; Friedman, Jed; Kandpal, Eeshani; Onishi, Junko, 2021, "Replication data for: Cash Transfers, Food Prices, and Nutrition Impacts on Ineligible Children", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SGJDLC, Harvard Dataverse, V1

The following files are used from this dataset:

• balance_data_final.dta
• moduleA-all_1.dta
• moduleD.dta

Since we do not provide a copy of this data ourselves, download the replication package from the Dataverse and save these three files in the folder data/philippines.

Computational requirements

Controlled Randomness

• Random seed for Julia is set before the generation of each table or figure in the file replication.jl
• Random seed for the calling of R is set on line 68 in the file hte_analysis.jl

Memory, Runtime, Storage Requirements

The code needs less than one hour to run on a standard 2024 desktop or laptop machine. The storage space needed is 25 MB - 250 MB.

The code was last run on a 4-core Intel-based laptop with MacOS version 13.6.7 with 47GB of free space.

Instructions to Replicators

1. Download Data

Download the replication package of Filmer et. al (2023), available here and place the files moduleA-all_1.dta, moduleD.dta, and balance_data_final.dta in the data/philippines folder.

2. Reproduce All Figures and Tables

Set your working directory to the code/ folder. From there, run

julia replicate.jl

The tables and figures are saved in the exhibits/ folder.

List of tables and figures

The script replication.jl produces all tables and figures in the paper using routines called from php_household_model.jl.

• Figure 1 is saved as exhibits/fig1a.pdf and exhibits/fig1b.pdf
• Figure 2 is saved as exhibits/fig2.pdf
• Table 1 is saved as exhibits/table1.tex
• Table 2 is saved as exhibits/table2.tex
• Table 3 in the Appendix is saved as exhibits/table3.tex
