Master Do-files

Master Do-file

The master do-file is the main do file that is used to call upon all the other do files. By running this file, all files needed from importing raw data to cleaning, constructing, analysing and outputting results should be run. This file therefore also functions as a map to the data folder. The master do-file should also include all settings that should be the same across the project. For example - basic and advanced memory limits, Stata Version settings, etc. Globals should also be defined in the master do-files. Some of the common globals to declare in the master do files are conversion rates for standardization of unites, varlist commonly used across the projects, assumptions that need to be defined, etc.
