The empirical part uses data from two sources: China Family Panel
Studies (CFPS) and historical mortality data. Permission to use and
access raw CFPS data should be directed to
https://www.isss.pku.edu.cn/cfps/. Mortality information used in the
article is from Meng, Qian, and Yared (2015) and can be found from
https://academic.oup.com/restud/article/82/4/1568/2607347.

CSV files "match.csv" and "health.csv" provide the key variables
(without individual identifiers) used to generate the regression
results in the paper (by running MakeTable.do). The folder Empirical
in dl-files.zip includes the following Stata do-files:

1. master.do (sets paths and runs code to generate tables/figures)
2. MakeData0.do (Prepare health data from CFPS)
3. MakeData1.do (Prepare the sample)
4. MakeData2.do (Merge health data)
5. MakeTable.do (Generate regression tables)
6. SummTable.do (Generate summary statistics)
7. Placebo.do (Carry out placebo tests)
8. MakeGraph.do (Generate figures)
9. Fals.do (Carry out falsification tests)
10. ts2sls.ado (Code for ts2sls)

The simulation results in the appendix can be generated by running
simu.R. The folder Simulation in dl-files.zip includes the following R
files:

1. simu.R (sets paths and runs code to generate tables)
2. pscore.cal.R (Compute Propensity Score using IPT)
3. loss.ps.IPT.R (Loss function based on Graham, Pinton, and Egel (2012, 2016))
4. loss.ps.cal.R (Loss function based on Tan (2019))
