1. 1.Read Cunha, Menichini, and Crockett (2015) “The retention effects of high years of service cliff-vesting pension plans,” Economics Letters.
2. 2.Reproduce the 2 tables and the 3 survival curves presented in the paper using the Stata dataset “retirement_data.dta” with R Studio. I should be able to run your script without errors by only changing the parent directory.
3. 3.Additional questions to answer:
a. Do you need to drop any observations? Why? Was there a different way to handle the missing data?
b. In a few sentences, discuss the issues surrounding causal inference in this paper. Do you believe whether the removal of the 20-year cliff vest causes higher attrition? What are some threats to this causal interpretation of the empirical results?
