ietookit version 5.3

Major updates

iefolder Added the option to better organize project folders by creating subfolders that are linked in the master do-file and that rounds can be created in by iefolder. This is a fix to issue #92

iegitaddmd - new command GitHub does not sync empty folders, but in research it is often important to share folder structures between collaborators. iegitaddmd adds a README.md file in all empty subfolders to the folder specified when running the command. This is a fix to #96 and #102. The name README.md is it is a special name recognized by GitHub, and the content of the files are displayed in the browser to anyone viewing that folder online. Adding a README.md file to folders in a repo is a great practice so iegitaddmd has the option all that makes the command adding the file to all folders, not just the empty ones (issue #101).

ietoolkit version 5.2

Version 5.2 includes the updates listed below. Click the highlighted numbers to get to the discussion of the fix and to see the code.

iefolder :

• Added task master do-file in import. Issue #71
• Creates a subfolder for HFC in the the encrypted round #72
• Includes root file path globals in round level master do files. So cleaning, analysis etc. for that round can be run directly from round level master do files. #80.
• Add unit globals to the round maseter do files. #84
• Removed IDMasterKey subfolder in encrypted. #89

iegraph :

• Added basictitle() option for iegraph title. #73
• Added options to put bargraph graph options using the BARoption() option. #75.
• Changing significance levels on confidence interval(confintval()) #76.
• yzero() now works when all values are positive and also when all are negative. #82
• Also tests that dummies are valid dummies i.e. only one treatment for one observation or checks for difference in difference. #83.
• File name could not have a "." in the name. Now it is allowed .#79.

iebaltab :

• Text wrapping when long varlabels are used. #78.
• File names cannot have "." in the name. #79

Version v5.0 had a bug on Mac computers in iefolder. That bug is solved in this version. This was issue #69

Also, issue #23 in ieduplicates is now addressed.

New command iefolder that set up the data work folders in a project folder according to DIME's best practice.

Updates to how iebaltab is exporting LaTeX files. The new default is to export it without caption and label, similarly to how estout and other commands export similar files.

Several minor updates to the other commands and help files in this package.

New commands: iedropone and iegraph

iegraph creates bar graphs on the based on the coefficients of treatment dummies in regression results. This command is developed for reading stored results of from two types of impact evaluation regression models, but there are countless of other examples where the command also can be used.

iedropone checks that no more or fewer observations than intended are dropped. For example, in the case that one observation has been identified to be dropped, then we want to make sure that when re-running the do-file no other observations are dropped even if more observations are added to that data set or changed in any other way.

Minor updates and fixes:

• #21 and #36 on iebaltab
• #32, #33, and #34 on iematch
• #26 on ieboilstart

Contributions from: @luizaandrade, @mrimal and @kbjarkefur

New command: iematch iematch matches observations in one group to observations in another group based on one continuous variable. Used to, for example, identify individual counterfactual observations to a sample of treatment observations. Allows for both one-to-one matches and many-to-one matches.

New major feature: latex support in iebaltab @luizaandrade implemented the option to output the balance tables in latex. Fixes issue #5

Minor updates: This version also included fixes for issues: #9 , #10 and #15

In version 2.0 there was a critical bug in the syntax for ieboilstart. This was fixed in this release.

This version submitted to SSC server.

1. Major update to ieboilstart. Fixed serious bugs.
2. Added command iebaltab

In addition to several minor fixes.
