These files can be used to reproduce every table, figure, and numerical result reported in the paper. 
All relevant code is available in the file ReplicationCode.do. 
Please open this file and make sure that the working directory is set to the folder containing all of the .dta files. 
The comments in the .do file indicate which part of the code corresponds to each table, figure, or numerical result. 

The file House.dta contains the primary data used to analyze the U.S. House. 
Each row corresponds to a member-year, and the columns correspond to member-, district-, and member-year specific covariates. 
Hopefully the names of the variables, examined in conjunction with the replication code and paper, are self-explanatory. 

The file Senate.dta is the analogous data set for the U.S. Senate.
