Because of the integration of Stata and Python in recent versions of Stata, we are able to adapt SCons for Stata workflows without the use of an external shell or extensive configuration. We discuss the usefulness of build tools generally, provide examples of the use of statacons in Stata workflows, present key elements of the syntax of statacons, and discuss extensions, alternatives, and limitations. We provide recommendations for collaborative workflows and, at the end of the article, installation instructions. }, number={1}, journal={STATA JOURNAL}, author={Guiteras, Raymond P. and Quistorff, Brian and Kim, Ahnjeong and Shumway, Clayson}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={148–196} }

When a peer judge retires, the remaining judges see a 5 percent increase in dispositions and decisions that lasts 6 months. Institutional features of the disability appeal process allow us to estimate what happens to judge decisions when caseloads increase, holding the composition of cases fixed. Increased caseloads are accompanied by a 1 percent decrease in the judges’ share of favorable decisions, suggesting 16,600 claimants in-sample were not awarded disability insurance who would have been, absent the workplace disruption.}, journal={JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ECONOMICS}, author={Shumway, Clayson and Wilson, Riley}, year={2022}, month={Jan} }
