The code in this LMN-VAR directory replicates Figures 3-5 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 STATA file STEP1_STATA_ESTIMATION.do.

Then run the MATLAB file STEP2_MATLAB_ESTIMATION.m.

Then run the MATLAB file STEP3_GRAPHS.m.

The key results will be in FIGURE3.pdf, FIGURE4.pdf, and
FIGURE5.pdf.
