Description of Supplementary
Files for “An Alternative Theory of the Plant Size Distribution, with Geography
and Intra- and International Trade”
by
Thomas J. Holmes (University of
Minnesota, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and NBER)
and
John J. Stevens (Board of
Governors of Federal Reserve System)
Description of Program:
base97.prg is Gauss program
that runs stage 2 for 1997. It runs 10
iterations and saves the results for each iteration. For each iterations, it produces count
coefficients ns and nb, and estimate
of the Γ=(γ1, γ2,.. γ177). It simulates the impact of a China Surge for
2007, using the 1997 estimates.
Description of Output Files:
Three files contain the
results of the stage 2 estimation.
