Abhishek Chakravarty, "Gender-Biased Breastfeeding in Egypt: Examining the Fertility Preference Hypotheses of Jayachandran and Kuziemko (2011)", Journal of Applied Econometrics, Vol. 30, No. 5, 2015, pp. 848-855. The binary file Egypt_breastfeed.dta is zipped in ac-dta.zip. The ASCII files Egypt_breastfeed.txt and breastfeed_regs_finalcode.do are zipped in ac-files.zip. Since these two files are in ASCII format, Unix/Linux users should use "unzip -a". The data were analysed in Stata to produce the results, and both Stata and tab-delimited versions of the dataset are provided. The Stata do-file "breastfeed_regs_finalcode.do" reproduces the results of the paper. Below are the names and summary information of the variables in the dataset in the order that they are entered, the total number of observations in the dataset, and the size of the dataset once it is imported into Stata.
