==Instructions for running matching code==
===Inputs and Outputs===
===Running Code===
===Options===
Before running, modify the following options if necessary:
*If matching ===Specify input file (if using different file, modifyline 12: readtable("Filepath"than default)===
*===Specify propensity score type to use for matching===**Options are: logitp (panel logit), probitp (panel probit), or Cox proportional hazard (hr)**Alternatively, can use the aboveoptions, with regressions performed using winsorized values of regressors (trimmed at 1st and 99th percentiles): logitpw, probitpw, hrwline Line 58:
*===Specify whether matching priority should be deterministic or random. ===*If deterministic, priority goes to lower GVKEYline Line 61:
*===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.

*Input: tab delimited file "E:/McNair/Projects/LBO/Clean/STATApredictLBOclean.txt"
**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
*Open Julia command line in administrator mode
*Change directory to E:\McNair\Projects\LBO\New matching\
cd("E:/McNair/Projects/LBO/New\ matching")
*Run script LBOmatchscript.jl include("LBOmatchscript.jl")
There are a few things options that can be customized in the scriptbefore running. Getting this the code 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.
Line 12: df = readtable(Not implemented yet"E: More user-friendly way to input restrictions/McNair/Projects/LBO/Clean/STATApredictLBOclean.txt", separator = '\t'); *===Specify which observations are valid for matching. ===*For now, we filter out all firms that were never granted a single patent in the period 1970-2015**For firms that LBO, we also drop their observations in all other years from the list of candidates to match to other LBOs**See inline comments in code for detailed description of what matchfilter2, matchfilter4, etc. represent
