The micro data used for the analysis were obtained by combining
several administrative registers collected and held by Statistics
Sweden. Access to these data is restricted by national and
international regulations, but any researcher wishing to perform
replication can apply for access to Statistics Sweden. The researcher
should feel free to contact the authors for instructions regarding the
necessary data sources and intermediate programs needed to generate
the results in the paper. 

The datasets used in the analysis (for relevant years) are:

-- The Swedish In-Patient Registry
-- The Swedish Cause of Death Registry
-- Sickness insurance spells from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency
-- Socioeconomic and demographic variables from the LOUISE population panel   

Alternatively, researchers can apply for access to the final datasets
directly to IFAU (the Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and
Education Policy). IFAU is not entitled to distribute the full data
(such access must be arranged through Statistics Sweden).  The
practical arrangements for accessing the final dataset will to some
extent depend on the location of the researcher and must be handled on
a case-by-case basis. The authors will naturally cooperate to instruct
the researcher about possible alternatives.  

The following commented program files (Stata) are provided to allow
for replication. 
 
-- master.do 
-- diag.do
-- shock.do
-- sickleave.do
-- covs.do

These files are ASCII files in DOS format. They are zipped in the file
aj-progs.zip. Unix/Linux users should use "unzip -a".
