This is the readme file to accompany the reproduction bundle for Snowberg,
Wolfers and Zitzewitz "Party Influence in Congress and the Economy" submitted for publication in the Quarterly Journal of Political Science in 2007.	

The bundle comes in a file called SWZ07_replication.zip. When uncompressed it will create a folder called "replication" which will have the following files:
SWZ07_replication.do    
elec02.dta              
elec06.dta
elec04.dta 
fig1.dta
readme.txt
and another sub-folder "data94" which contains:
elec94.dta
point94.dta
se94.dta

Running SWZ07_replication.do using Stata will produce a log file, SWZ07_replication.log which will contain the numerical results for Table 1, and the section dealing with the 1994 election. This do file will also produce the figures for the paper.

Any questions or comments on this bundle should be directed to Erik Snowberg <snowberg@alum.mit.edu>
