This folder contains

	1) Subsamples of the patent application data used in some of our analysis. The file todecision_hist.dta allows us to explore the distribution of decision year lags. The .dta file init_rej.dta manipulates application data to calculate the number of years until a patent acceptance, following a rejection. Finally, KPWZ_waterfall.dta replicates the construction of our main analysis sample.
	
	2) DID_vals.dta, which compiles different output files created in 1_run_kpwz, and pre-processes them to avoid repetition in creating graphs and tables.

	3) tech_center_names.csv, which contains the names of individual tech centers.
