Models and Source Code

The zip files hold all of the code and Java libraries they require, but are written in JAVA 1.6 and later. The Netlogo applets requires Java 1.4.1 or higher to run. They will not run on Windows 95 or Mac OS 8 or 9. Mac users must have OS X 10.2.6 or higher and use a browser that supports Java 1.4 applets (Safari works, IE does not). On other operating systems, you may obtain the latest Java plugin from Sun's Java site. Simply extract the zip file and double click the .jar file to run with a GUI. Some code is cleaner than others - if you find any confusion, please contact me at your leisure.

Data Sets

I have at least 4 more data sets I need to post. Requests are welcome, as they will force me to make time. 

Makowsky, Michael D., and Thomas Stratmann. 2009. "Political Economy at Any Speed: What Determines Traffic Citations?" American Economic Review, 99(1): 509-27. [Massachusetts Speeding Ticket and Public Finance Data]

Makowsky, Michael D. and Jared Rubin 2013 "An Agent-Based Model of Centralized Institutions, Social Network Technology, and Revolution", Plos One 8 (11), [Stata Data File and Program Code for Empirical Section] 

The data from Agan and Makowsky, 2019 “The Minimum Wage, EITCs, and Criminal Recidivism” uses data that must be provided through the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP). If you have acquired the data and would like to replicate our paper, we are happy to provide the associated Stata files to produce the tables.
