This is a template you can use for replication code. Fill in each section with information on your own project.

Short Description

Give a short, 1-2 paragraph description of your project. Focus on the code, not the theoretical / substantive / academic side of things.

Dependencies

List what software your code depends on, as well as version numbers, like so:.

1. R, version 3.1
2. Python, version 2.7, Anaconda distribution.

(In your scripts, includes commands that install required packages.)

Files

List all other files contained in the repo, along with a brief description of each one, like so:

Data

1. polity.csv: The PolityVI dataset, available here: http://www.systemicpeace.org/inscrdata.html
2. nyt.csv: Contains data from the New York Times API collected via collect-nyt.ipynb . Includes information on all articles containing the term "Programmer Cat", 1980-2010.
3. analysis-dataset.csv: The final Analysis Dataset derived from the raw data above. It includes country-year values for all UN countries 1980-2010, with observations for the following variables:
   • ccode: Correlates of War numeric code for country observation
   • year: Year of observation
   • polity: PolityVI score
   • nyt: Number of New York Times articles about "Programmer Cat"

Code

1. 01_collect-nyt.py: Collects data from New York Times API and exports data to the file nyt.csv
2. 02_merge-data.R: Loads, cleans, and merges the raw Polity and NYT datasets into the Analysis Dataset.
3. 03_analysis.R: Conducts descriptive analysis of the data, producing the tables and visualizations found in the Results directory.

Results

1. coverage-over-time.jpeg: Graphs the number of articles about each region over time.
2. regression-table.txt: Summarizes the results of OLS regression, modelling nyt on a number of covariates.
