All folders are zipped in the file ss-files.zip. Text (ASCII) files
are in DOS format.

1. The folder "functions" include generic functions that would be
called for both Monte Carlo simulations and empirical applications.
Codes for CCT and IK bandwidth selections are from 

  Sebastian Calonico, Matias D. Cattaneo, and Rocio Titiunik (2014).
  "Robust Nonparametric Confidence Intervals for Regression
  Discontinuity Designs," Econometrica, 82(6), 2295-2326.

2. The folder "simulationR2" includes codes for Monte Carlo
simulations. Codes are written such that results are saved in
subfolder "mktable". Then with additional codes in the "mktable"
subfolder, one could ask R to automatically generate the tables
reported in the simulation section of the paper.

3. The folders "APP1" and "APP2" replicate the two empirical
applications of the paper. Note that the "csv" format and the "dta"
format file contain the same data. The R codes call for the data in
"dta" format.

4. The dataset in folder "APP1" is a subsample of all observations
from two-school towns in

  Cristian Pop-Eleches and Miguel Urquiola (2013). "Going to a Better
  School: Effects and Behavioral Responses", American Economic Review,
  103, 1289-1324.

5. The dataset in folder "APP2" is from

  Jason M. Lindo, Nicholas J. Sanders, and Philip Oreopoulos (2010).
  "Ability, Gender, and Performance Standards: Evidence from Academic
  Probation", American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2, 95-117.
