# This file creates a smaller version of some of the data used in
# Angrist and Evans (1998, American Economic Review).
#
# The original data in Stata format is available here:
#
# http://sites.bu.edu/ivanf/files/2014/03/m_d_806.dta_.zip
#
# That file is cleaned using this Stata code:

# http://sites.bu.edu/ivanf/files/2014/03/code.zip
#
# We have run this and saved it in .csv format, which this script downloads.
# The file is around 80 MB, so not included with the package.
#
# This script creates smaller version by removing unneeded columns.
