How to run
First, you need a gurobi license, which can be obtained (free) here.
In master.m, edit the options section to reflect what you want the code to do. Then run it.
Location/structure of the code
The old codebase is located in
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\OriginalCode
The new codebase is located in
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\AdjustedCode
The new-new codebase is located in
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\ReAdjustedCode
Some of this code is just library code (prefix mtimesx).
master.m
options section
task: Can take the values {'data', 'monte', 'monte_data'}.
estimator: Can take the values {'MSM'}.
use_solver: Can take the values {'ga'}.
error_type (currently hard coded as 1 and isn't fully written to support 2): 1 for match specific errors, with the error distribution following an exchangeable structure. var(e) = sig^2, and cov(e,e') = 1/4*sig^2. 2 for agent specific errors, with the error structure of match <i, j> as sig*ei*ej.
strip_master.m (deleted in readjusted code)
Seems to be a version of master.m that only uses the parameters task = 'monte_data', use_solver = 'ga', and estimator = 'MSM' (which apparently are the only values that work for master.m, but unverified).
msmf_corr_coeff.m
This is the fitness function. Takes a vector and returns a scalar.
Location/Structure of Data
Pro tip: running the command
whos -file filename
from a matlab session will tell you the contents of any .mat file.
There are two of both psdata and dyad_tech_mkt_data, corresponding to 4 industries or 5 industries. You can find them in
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\OriginalCode\FVEIC4 data
and
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\OriginalCode\FVEIC5 data
The one wanted should be copied into the code directory:
E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\AdjustedCode
psdata.mat contains
- vc: the number of VC's in each market, in the form of (10, 12, 13, ...): the first market has 10 VC's, the second market has 12 VC's....
- firm: the number of firms in each market, (13, 14, ...): the first market has 13 downstream, the second 14 downstream... this is a one (VC) to many (firms) market, and the number of firms in each market is at least as many as the number of firms
- m_id: unused, I'm guessing the market id
dyad_tech_mkt_data.mat variables used include:
- pvc_exp_n, mean_pvc_exp_n, std_pvc_exp_n
- lnfpat, mean_lnfpat:
- mean_m_dist_1000, std_m_dist_1000:
- mean_exp_sector, std_exp_sector:
- m_match: contains the matching outcome: for each dyad (firm VC pair), 0 means not matched and 1 means matched. The variable asg in the code contains the matching outcomes of all markets. The matching outcomes are delineated by firms using the position data N1 (vc' from psdata)and N2 (firm' from psdata).
