Replication of Duflo, Kremer & Robinson (2011) — "Nudging Farmers to Use Fertilizer: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Kenya" (AER, 101(6)). # Replication: Nudging Farmers to Use Fertilizer ## 📌 Project Overview This project replicates key empirical results from the paper: **Duflo, Kremer, and Robinson (2011)** *Nudging Farmers to Use Fertilizer: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Kenya* Published in the American Economic Review. The objective is to reproduce: - Descriptive statistics (Table 1) - Pre-treatment balance checks (Table 3) - Main treatment effects from the Randomized Controlled Trial (Table 4) All analyses are implemented in **Stata 16**. --- ## 📂 Data The replication uses the following datasets: - `SAFI_main_dataset_AER.dta` → Main dataset (RCT analysis) - `time_buying_fert_AER.dta` → Fertilizer purchase timing Make sure these files are located in your working directory before running the code. --- ## ⚙️ Requirements - Stata 16 or anover version - Basic knowledge of econometrics and RCTs --- ## ▶️ How to Run 1. Open Stata 2. Set the working directory: ```stata cd "your/path/to/project"
