, 17:19, 27 July 2016→General Overview
Currently there are '''3''' major tasks being performed (list to be updated):
#'''Creation of VC data table''': '''UPDATE: Complete''' (see completed work)
#'''Creation of Hubs Dataset''': '''UPDATE: See current work in progress for updates''' As of Spring 2016, a list of potential Hubs with a set of characteristics was created. Many of these are not what will be defined as Hubs. We will be creating a scorecard to help subjectively define collect key variables for potential Hubs based on certain characteristics. To do so:##We will determine variables we would like to use for scorecard
##Create a process via Mechanical Turk to streamline the updating of the list
#'''Hazard Rate Model''': '''UPDATE: (7/11) Spoke to Xun Tang, econometrics professor in Rice's Economics Department, and now looking for appropriate proportional rate hazard models with time varying covariates.''' In order to perform our diff-diff model, we need to match MSAs. In order to do so, we will be using a hazard rate model to produce a probability that a MSA gets a Hub and compare MSAs that do and don't have hubs with similar probabilities.
