10. Data used in “Authoritarianism in the Middle East”
To reproduce the analyses in Anne Mariel Peters and James W. McGuire, “Authoritarianism in the Middle East: Structural Conditions and Causal Processes Revisited” (unpublished; available on request to jmcguire@wesleyan.edu) and in PetersMcGuireRobustnessChecks.pdf, download PetersMcGuireStataDoFileInstructions.pdf and follow them. You’ll need a not-too-ancient edition of both Excel and Stata. Files ending in .do are not permitted on the website, so the Stata do-file was copied and pasted into a Microsoft Word document (.docx). To execute the do-file you have to copy the contents of PetersMcGuireStataDoFile.docx into a Stata do-file in .do format.

11. Data used in “Political Regime and Social Performance.”
McGuire, James W. “Political Regime and Social Performance.” Contemporary Politics 19 No. 1 (March 2013), 55-75. https://doi.org/10.1080/13569775.2013.773203
The WordPress software used to create this website does not permit the uploading of Stata files. Hence the data are in .xlsx rather than .dta format and the .do program and .smcl output files have been copied and pasted into .docx files. The .dta, .do, and .smcl files used in the analyses are available on request from jmcguire@wesleyan.edu
On September 16, 2012, McGuirePolRegSocPerf.do in conjunction with McGuirePolRegSocPerf.xls ran without a hitch and produced McGuirePolRegSocPerf.smcl. You can probably reproduce this run by copying McGuirePolRegSocPerfStataDOfile.docx and pasting it into a Stata .do file and copying McGuirePolRegSocPerfStataSMCLfile.docx but you will have to install a couple of user-written programs, tabmiss.pkg from https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ado/analysis/ and xtivreg2 from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/x
