**Positive integers identify pairs matched, negative integers identify matched non-LBOs in years other than the match, -0.1 identifies LBOs that failed to match to any non-LBOs under constraints provided
===Running Code===
*Open Julia command line in administrator mode
*Change directory to E:\McNair\Projects\LBO\New matching\
There are a few things that can be customized in the script. Getting this into a more user-friendly form is a WIP. In fact, some parts might be difficult, if not impossible, to write in a more accessible way.==Options==
Before There are a few options that can be customized in the script before running. Getting the code into a more user-friendly form is a WIP. In fact, some parts might be difficult, modify the following options if necessary:not impossible, to write in a more accessible way.
====Specify input file (if using different file than default)====
*Alternatively, can use the aboveoptions, with regressions performed using winsorized values of regressors (trimmed at 1st and 99th percentiles): logitpw, probitpw, hrw
Line 58:
mscore = :logitpw;
====Specify whether matching priority should be deterministic or random.====
*If deterministic, priority goes to lower GVKEY
randoption = 0;
====Specify additional constraints on valid matches (modify code within function mcexpr as desired)====
*For example, default code forces matches to be within the same industry group, within the same decade, and with patent stocks within +/- 20% of LBO firm.
