Guide to Replication
June 11, 2009

The files in this archive contain all the data and matlab code needed to
reproduce the six figures in the paper.  These programs have been
executed using Matlab R2008b.

This is a brief guide to the files.

  pwt61.mat  -- The Penn World Tables 6.1 in matlab format
  BarroLee200061.mat -- The Barro-Lee education data, ordered according to pwt61

  maddison2008.xls -- Maddison's historical data, downloaded from his web page
  WorldBankFDI.xls -- World Bank data on FDI


  trade.m -- Matlab code for producing Figure 1
  verylongrun.m -- Matlab code for producing Figure 2
  growthtriangle.m -- Matlab code for producing Figure 3
  tfpplot.m -- Matlab code for producing Figure 4
  goldinkatz.m -- Matlab code for producing Figures 5 and 6

The remaining *.m files are functions that have been created over the
years to manage, display, and plot data.  They may be useful in other
contexts.
