Script files: Located in the 1_code/programs folder. These can be grouped into data generation programs and data processing programs.

-- Data generation Use raw data to generate indicators and, when feasible, estimate values by population groups or subnational units. Examples: 0baseyear2022pov.do, 2prepgrowthdata.do, 3preppop_data.do.

-- Data processing Use the outputs from the data generation block to produce main results. Examples: 4neutraldist.do, 6ginichangeGIC.do, 9_TablesandFigures.do.

Data folders: These include the input data and output data folders available in the 2_data folder. The input data must not be modified by the user.

Final database: Located in the output data folder, named 3_output. Once all master files have been executed, the main results will be automatically generated and saved in this folder.

Instructions

1. Open the 0_master.do master file and set the working directory according to your local environment.
2. Upon completion, the final databases will be available in the final data folder, named 2data/dataout.
