| dc.description.tableofcontents | This directory contains 2 RATS-format (binary) data sets: allq.rat (132,864 bytes) sexrace.rat (49,152 bytes) and 2 RATS programs and corresponding outputs ts1.prg (output listing = ts1.out) ts2.prg (output listing = ts2.prg) RATS is a widely-used program for analysing time-series data on personal computers. Users are expected to have access to RATS and familiarity with the basic RATS commands. ts1.prg reads the time-series data set in allq.rat. This is quarterly data for 1954-I to 1993-IV, incorporating data from Allison Wellington and updates to her data for 1987-1993. The basic data include the teenage employment-population rate, the nominal minimum wage, the CPI, the fraction of workers covered by the minimum, the average wage in manufactuing, and the "Kaitz index" ( a coverage-adjusted minimum wage index), as well as the control variables used in Wellington's analysis and the earlier analysis by Brown-Gilroy-Kohen (JHR, 1983). The controls include the unemployment rate, the emp-pop rate for men age 25-54, the fraction of the US population who are age 16-19, the fraction of 16-19 year olds who are 16-17, the fraction of 16-19 year olds in the armed forces. The program ts1.prg reads the allq.rat data set, lists the main variable names, provides prints and means of the data, and performs most of the time-series regressions reported in tables 6.5A, 6.5B, 6.6, and 6.7 of Myth and Measurement. The listing ts1.out shows the actual RATS output created by ts1.prg. The program ts2.prg reads the allq.rat data set and the sexrace.rat data set, and performs the estimates reported by gender and race in Table 6.9 of Myth and Measurement. The listing ts2.out shows the actual RATS output created by ts2.prg. If you FTP the data, FTP the ts1.* and ts2.* files as ascii files, then set the binary command ( "bin") before transferrring the *.rat data sets. | en_US |
