Public Goods

Below are some public goods that I have tried to create, in defiance of all Samuelson conditions, and mostly because I got so many questions about them from colleagues that it saved me time to just put them online. Hopefully they are helpful for you.

Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes

As part of my work at the U.S. Census Bureau, I helped to develop and release an experimental data product called Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes, which releases data on earnings and employment outcomes for graduates from post-secondary institutions. To download this data and read more about the product, visit the LEHD PSEO website.

Code for Making Maps in STATA

A number of people have asked me about making maps in STATA, which makes presentations more enjoyable and easy to understand; to this end, I have posted code to easily create maps of states or counties, which is available on my GitHub website. Each folder includes a do-file, the map coordinates file, and the map data set. I also include a read-me file, and a sample dataset to use. Further instructions are enclosed in the do-file. Special thanks to Michel Grosz for beta-testing this small project for me. If you see any mistakes in my code, please let me know, and I will fix them.
