The code in this IV-VAR directory replicates Figures 6-7 in 
"Using Disasters to Estimate the Impact of Uncertainty,"
by Scott R. Baker, Nicholas Bloom, and Stephen J. Terry.

To replicate those figures in the paper, do the following.

First run the MATLAB file STEP1_ESTIMATION.m.

Then run the MATLAB file STEP2_GRAPHS.m.

The key results will be in FIGURE6.pdf and FIGURE7.pdf.
