Readme for replicating results in the dissertation "Spousal Labor Supply and Unemployment: Estimates from a Household Search Model", Jonathan Eggleston, May 2014.
To do the analysis for this dissertation, I used Stata to download the data from the Census website and clean the data as well.  I used Fortran to estimate my model using MPI to parallelize my program. The Fortran code is written in Fortran 95 using concepts introduced in Fortran 03/08.  All analyses were done on the UVa Cluster, described at http://www.uvacse.virginia.edu/resources/itc-clusters/, which uses the Linux operating system.

Respective versions are as follows:
Stata MP: Version 12.1 
Intel Fortran Compiler (ifort): 13.0.1
MPI: mpich 3.0.1
PBS: PBS Pro version 12

The code also complies with the  GNU compiler, version 4.6.3. 

The Stata code is in the file "mystata_files.zip" and the Fortran code is in "myfortran_files.zip"

The code should be able to create my dataset from scratch and then use the data to estimate my Fortran program.  The following is a shell script (Linux terminal commands) that can be used to estimate all my components

#begin shell script here

#start out in the directory you want
mkdir sipp_datawork
mkdir sipp_fortran_mpi

#first, download and clean the data
cd ./sipp_datawork
#copy the "mystata_files.zip" file into the "sipp_datawork" directory
unzip mystata_files.zip
#will need to change some global variables in the master.do file before running the following command
xstata-mp do master.do
cp sipp_fortran_big.txt ../sipp_fortran_mpi


#second, estimate the program
cd ../sipp_fortran_mpi
#copy the "myfortran_files.zip" into the "sipp_fortran_mpi" directory
unzip myfortran_files.zip
# need to have mpi set up with ifort as the wrapper before running the following command
make
qsub mypbs.pbs
#wait for the main program to finish running before submitting the other pbs file (which took about 6 hours)
qsub mypbs_post_est_all.pbs 


#end shell script
