Data Files:

Micro data files that are not shared in the replication package:
merged_datasets.dta: This is the time use file by Augiar and Hurst (2007) that includes individual-level observations from 1965 to 2003.
merged_datasets1x.dta: This is the file which appends merged_datasets.dta to time use data after 2003 including 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, i.e., "year"_subset.dta files.
"year"_subset.dta: These files are intermediate inputs during the extension of time use dataset for years after 2003 and brings together subfiles of time use data. Time use activities that will be used in the analysis are derived in these.
"year"_timeuse.dta: These files bring together the following unprocessed time use files: respondent (atusresp_"year.dta), activity (atusact_"year".dta), roster (atusrost_"year".dta), and cps extracts (atuscps_"year".dta)
*Contact Rachel Ngai for information on how to download the micro source files.


Data files that are shared in the replication package: 
timeuse_figures.dta: Includes cleaned data and constructed cells, variables for analysis, and appropriately weighted means of relevant variables at the level of demographic cells in each sample year.



Do Files:

Running the do files in the order below enables full replication of the final data used in the paper.
	format_0513.do: Uses the unprocessed time use files, produces intermediate files that contain the relevant time use and respondent information.
	timeuse_cleancell.do: Appends intermediate data files and produces the full dataset from 1965 to 2013. Then it cleans the data, generates the demographic cells and weights. Finally it saves the data at the demographic group and year level in "timeuse_figures.dta".
	timeuse_figures.do: Uses "timeuse_figures.dta" and generates the final output used in the paper.
