Codes figures.m and averages.m can be run in Matlab
or Octave to generate figures and appendix table
averages for the 1990s.   

NOTE: A correction was made to averages.m and figures.m.  
The old versions called in the wrong series for 
nonresidential investment in farm business.  See 
averages.out for the updated decomposition of 
tangible investment into corporate and noncorporate.
