After that we can simply append/union the real match table and calculate the variables from the original dataset on this new table.
The code that does this is called 'CreatingLPM_withoutsyn.sql' when using code100, and 'CreatingLPM_withoutsyn_code20.sql'. Augi reworked and streamlined it.
---------------
At the end of the code, we also create a LPM dataset, instead of having to do a manual reshape in Stata.

==Reduced Form Analysis of the Dataset==
An extensive reduced form analysis was employed with a lot of back and forth feedback between Jeremy Fox and Ed Egan and me. I documented everything I did in a pdf file generated from LaTeX. Since converting it to Wiki format would be too cumbersome, including converting multiple tables and figures, I've decided it is better to host the latex files and pdf in the folder below
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\Stata\Pdf
Everything necessary to produce the pdf file is there. Open the .tex file 'regressions.tex' and build it using your preferred latex compiler. A very easy option is to use some online compiler.
==Paralelization of Matlab Code==
This was done by [[Wei Wu]]. I will briefly summarize what he told me.
His main objective was to paralelize as much as possible Chenyu's code in Matlab. Apparently, this was done successfully. What changed is documented in [[Parallelize msmf corr coeff.m]].
He also had two other projects that did not end up working. One was to use the GPU to speed up even more the code. The reasons are well documented in [[Matlab, CUDA, and GPU Computing]].
Finally, he also tried expanding the paralelization by using NOTS (Night Owls Time-Sharing Service), a computing cluster. Since the paralelization was succesful, expanding the number of cores available was the logical next step. He ran into problems which I couldn't understand very well. Additionally, NOTS is not Windows-friendly. Check [[NOTS Computing for Matching Entrepreneurs to VCs]] for more.
