DATA

Datasets, as well as the empirical program for the analysis conducted in "The returns from rent-seeking: campaign contributions, firm subsidies and the Byrd Amendment" can be accessed here. Both the program and the datasets are in the SAS format.

Datasets for the analysis conducted in "Subsidizing rent-seeking: Antidumping Protection and the Byrd Amendment" can be accessed here. While the dataset for the zero-inflated poisson model is in Stata format, the dataset for the analysis on the proportion of firms participating in petitions is in SAS format.

For those who are interested, here is a link to one of the datasets used in "Free Riders Among the Rent-Seekers." Please contact me for documentation and the complete dataset.
