Overview
************************************************************************************************

This replication package contains the data and the code necessary to reproduce the results in section D of the Online Appendix of the paper “The Selective Disclosure of Evidence: An Experiment” (A. Farina, G. Fréchette, A. Ispano, A. Lizzeri, J. Perego), pertaining to the Additional Experiment with an Alternative Design.


************************************************************************************************
Data Availability Statement
************************************************************************************************

The data used in this paper were collected by the authors via an experiment conducted at the LEEM experimental laboratory of Montpellier University in 2023. 

The raw dataset is included in the replication archive in the file 2023_final. 

Documentation of the experimental and sampling procedure is provided in the file additional_documentation_robustness_experiment.pdf. This file contains a brief description of the experimental instructions, it summarizes the subjects' recruitment procedure and the data exclusion criteria, and it provides a description of all variables of the data used for the analysis. 

The data are made available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

File explanation 
**********************************************************************

Explanation of files:

2023_final.xls
          contains the raw data in excel format

2023_final.dta 
          contains the raw data in STATA format

Data_cleaning_final.do 
          contains the STATA code used to clean the data, to put it in a form that facilitates the analysis and the interpretation of variables

2023_final_edit_for_analysis.dta 
          contains the cleaned data in STATA format

replication_final.do
          contains the STATA code for the tables (D4 to D9) that populates section D.2 of the Online Appendix

additional_documentation_robustness_experiment.pdf

          contains further documentation of the experimental and sampling procedure and variable names

*************************************
Instructions to Run the Code
*************************************

Order of files: 

In order to replicate the analysis, one can directly use replication_final.do, which uses 2023_final_edit_for_analysis.dta as data input. If one wants to replicate such data file as well, one should first run Data_cleaning_final.do, which uses 2023_final.dta as data input.

Instructions to run the code in Stata:

1- Keep the .do file and the .dta file it uses as input in the same folder (robustness_experiment)
2- Execute Stata from such folder, or set it as working directory in STATA
