This subdirectory contains data and programs for replicating the results 
that use the  Survey on Household Income and Wealth for the italian economy (tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the paper and tables A1.1, A2.2 A2.3 in the web appendix).

Raw data (downloads from the SHIW) 
are in data/raw/. 
First, set the path for STATA's working directory in the _shiw_master.do: cd "C:\...\ATV data archive files\shiw"
When you run the programs, intermediate data files 
will appear in other subdirectories of data/.


You can replicate the results as follows:

 Run the programs from _step_1.do to _step_6.do (_step_4b.do is launched by _step_4.do) in that order (you can also run once _shiw_master.do in the shiw subdirectory). 
Be warned that these programs -- 
especially _step_5.do -- are quite slow.

 Results for all tables will 
appear in files in the output/ subdirectory.
