Datasets

Every economist is responsible for their own data. Here is mine.

Underlying Data for Published Work on This Site

HMDA processing code (with data) — fair warning: this is not a perfect replication package; you will need to adjust file paths if you run the code, and the underlying files are large enough that a laptop may not have the RAM to process them in full.
