For now, we filter out all firms that were never granted a single patent in the period 1970-2015**For firms that LBO, we also drop their observations in all other years from the list of candidates to match to other LBOs**See inline comments in code for detailed description of what matchfilter2, matchfilter4, etc. represent Lines 38-48 Specify propensity score type to use for matching*Options are: logitp (panel logit), probitp (panel probit), or Cox proportional hazard (hr)*Alternatively, can use the above, with regressions performed using winsorized values of regressors (trimmed at 1st and 99th percentiles): logitpw, probitpw, hrw
