Reproductive Outcomes And Son Preference In Uzbekistan

Replication code published in 2026 supports a study analyzing reproductive outcomes and son preference. The package contains Stata do-files for reproducing tables and figures from a Review of Development Economics article. It was authored by Khilola Dushamova and hosted by Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Replicate regression tables analyzing reproductive outcomes using MICS microdata variables.
• Reproduce figures illustrating son preference trends with demographic and household survey data.
• Modify estimation scripts to test alternative model specifications with variables like birth order or child sex.
• Use the master do-file as a template for analyzing similar household survey datasets.

Strengths

• Directly replicates a peer-reviewed journal publication.
• Includes a master do-file and specific estimation scripts for full reproducibility.
• Based on MICS (Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey) microdata, a standardized international survey.

Limitations

• The dataset consists only of analysis code; the underlying MICS microdata is not included.
• Replication scope is limited to the specific tables and figures from the single published article.
• Code functionality depends on proprietary Stata software.
