Version: V1

Software used: Stata 12.1

Below you find the do-files to replicate the results. The analysis was preceded by a bulk of data mangement. I used the outreg2.ado to export regression tables in .doc format.

There is one do-file (crsoepwpV1.do) to create the data set (plus additional labeling via crsoepwpV1labels.do), and there is one do-file (ansoepwpV1.do) to run the subsequent analysis.

The raw data - SOEP, Daten für die Jahre 1984-2010, Version 27, 2011, doi:10.5684/soep.v27 - are available from the DIW Berlin. Most of the data management stuff was merging SOEP files and then identifying college graduates. There are a few more data management commands in the analysis part; this is somehwat sloppy, but centering variables is closely related to the analysis of interaction effects, which is why I kept that step there. The analysis is not that fancy. I did some calculations based on results I copied and pasted. Again, sloppy; I know.

NB: Variable names in the SOEPlong file have been changed in subsequent versions. A list of old and new variable names is included on the data DVDs.
