					  How to reproduce results from the paper



*** Software required ***
	
	1. SAS
	
	2. Mathematica	



*** Files needed ***

	1. "JFE data and code.xlsx": Excel file containing information about:
		
		- Authors in the sheet "Data_authors"
	
		- Papers in the sheet "Data_papers" 

	2. "Database Management.sas": SAS code to create the database from the Excel file "JFE data and code.xlsx"

	3. "Modelisation.sas": SAS code to reproduce empirical results in Table 1

        4. "Graph_2.nb" and "Graph_3.nb": two Mathematica scripts to reproduce Figures 2 and 3



*** 6 steps to reproduce the results ***

	1. Put all files in the same folder

	2. In "Database Management.sas" and "Modelisation.sas": assign your folder path to the variable "path" 
	   located at the beginning of each code.

	   Example: If you save the files at the following path "C:\Users\sebsa\OneDrive\Bureau" then assign this path
           to the variable "path" in each SAS code: "Database Management.sas" and "Modelisation.sas", as follows:

		%LET path = C:\Users\sebsa\OneDrive\Bureau;

	   WARNING: Do not put parentheses in your path.

	3. Run "Database Management.sas" code: This code creates an excel file named "Data_JFE" and saves it in your folder.

	4. Run "Modelisation.sas" code: This code reproduces the summary statistics of "Panel A: Summary Statistics"
	and the six specifications of "Panel B: Logistic Regression" in Table 1. All results are stored in an Excel file 
	named "Panels A and B". In the code, each specification is introduced with its number and variables used, as follows:

	   **** (1) Citations, Seniority, International, Top 10 ****;
	   **** (2) Citations, Seniority, International, Tope 10, Time FE ****;
	   **** (3) International, Top 10: Complete dataset ****;
	   **** (4) International, Top 10, Time FE: Complete dataset ****;
	   **** (5) Citations only ****;
	   **** (6) Citations + Time FE ****;

	5. Run "Graph_2.nb" in Mathematica: This code generates Figure 2

	6. Run "Graph_3.nb" in Mathematica: This code generates Figure 3
