This file should reproduce all the analysis in:
Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, "Trust in Public Institutions over the Business Cycle", AER Papers and Proceedings, 2011, 101(3).

We have included as much data as we are legally allowed to.  Unfortunately the paper uses two proprietary datasets that we cannot share:
- The Gallup World Poll (which is available from Gallup; we used the version dated October 15, 2010 called "The_Gallup_101510")
- State codes for the General Social Survey (the file they gave us was called "gssgeocode_justin_wolfers")
...these files were kept in a separate folder called "Proprietary", which we have not shared.

Beyond this, the file "Public trust (main file).do" should run in Stata 11, and will provide the build the paper from raw data through to intermediate datasets, and finally, our results.
