version submitted 2016.12.22 


Researchers should put the data files in "rawdata" and tables and figures will be saved to "output."

1.) scf_srmversion.do: file to replicate the results from Study 1 (Survey of Consumer Finances, 2010). This requires two data files:*
(i.) scfb2013.dta: Summary Extract Public Data with demographic and financial asset data: download from SCF website
(ii.) scf131.dta: full pre-production dataset -- this dataset does not have any imputed or edited values. 

2.) 
cogecon_srmversion.do: file to replicate the results from Study 2 (Cognitive Economics Study, 2011). This requires three data files:
(i.) CE2011pubV1.dta: publicly available from http://ebp-projects.isr.umich.edu/CogEcon/data.html 
(ii.) ce_mcardle_merged_small_20111209.dta: this is the authors source of the CogUSA variables for personality and cognition. The CogUSA data are available on the ICPSR website. 
(iii.) Qtimes_071112_cld.dta: timing data for CogEcon. An extract of the timing data is publicly available from http://ebp-projects.isr.umich.edu/CogEcon/data.html 
3.) cogecon_srmversion_alpha.do: file to calculate the alpha reliability scores for the items used to calculate the personality measures: Big Five Conscientiousness, Big Five Openness, and Need for Cognition. 

4.) study2_to_calc_alpha.dta: De-identified data to calculate the alpha reliability scores in cogecon_srmversion_alpha.do.
