*Note on Table 8: Unfortunately, the variable dexpsh that is needed to generate columns 4-8 was lost in the process of compiling the table 8 materials. Therefore, the do-file only generates columns 1 through 3. See tab8.log for the columns tab8.do generates, and tab8_full.log for all the Table 8 columns (1-8).
