This directory contains data and code files used for the paper:

McGrattan, Ellen and Richard Rogerson, Changes in Hours Worked: 1950-2000,

QR summer 2004, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.



The main code file is ipums_2000_totpop.f90



Input files for ipums_2000_totpop.f90 are:

	td-1950-totpop.dat

	td-1960-totpop.dat

	td-1970-totpop.dat

	td-1980-totpop.dat

	td-1990-totpop.dat

	td-2000-totpop.dat

	matrix_h80.dat

	matrix_h90.dat

	matrix_h00.dat	



Output files of ipums_2000_totpop.f90 are:

	ipums_5per_totpop.out

	ipums-extrap_totpop.out

	paper_tables.out

	ipums_extrap_totpop.m

	comparison_TS.m

	figure1sr317.m



To get tables and graphs that are included in the paper, put ipums_2000_totpop.f90

and the above-mentioned input files into the same directory and run 

the fortran code. Here is short description of output files:

	ipums_5per_totpop.out contains tables for average hours, hours per worker,

employment-population ratio for different sex, age and marital status groups. 

	ipums-extrap_totpop.out has tables with extrapolated values for different

cohorts, see tables 8-10 and appendix D in the paper.

	paper_tables.out has tables included in the paper, i.e., the set of tables

in this output file is smaller than in files ipums_5per_totpop.out and

ipums-extrap_totpop.out.

	ipums_extrap_totpop.m is a matlab code to draw graphs for average hours of

different cohorts for different sex and marital status groups, charts 1-3 in 

the paper.

	comparison_TS.m is a matlab code to compare two methods of calculating

average hours, charts B1-B3 in the paper.

	figure1sr317.m draws the figure 1 in Staff Report 317, Federal Reserve

Bank of Minneapolis.

Detailed description of input and output files is given in ipums_2000_totpop.f90.



The main matlab code to produce graphs is paper_graphs.m with input data files:

	gordon.dat

	goldin.dat

	deflator.dat

	cpi.dat

	benefits.dat
