The Impact of Income-Driven Repayment on Student Borrower Outcomes
Daniel Herbst
https://doi.org/10.1257/app.20200362
Data Availability: The first data source is administrative loan data from an anonymous large loan servicing company ("LLS"). These data are proprietary and subject to the terms of a non-disclosure agreement between the author and LLS. As such, they cannot be shared, and the identity of LLS cannot be disclosed. The second data source is the NCES Baccalaureate and Beyond ("B&B") Study (NCES, 2016). These data were collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and require a restricted-use data license. Researchers can apply for a license.

Winners and Losers? The Effect of Gaining and Losing Access to Selective Colleges on Education and Labor Market Outcomes
Sandra E. Black, Jeffrey T. Denning, and Jesse Rothstein
https://doi.org/10.1257/app.20200137
Data Availability: The data for this project are all restricted data controlled by the Texas Education Research Center (ERC; Austin ERC Director Celeste Alexander, celeste.alexander@austin.utexas.edu). The agreement under which we use the data does not permit us to redistribute them. The ERC web page includes information about how to apply for access. Researchers intending to do this should contact us; we are happy to work with ERC staff to support applications and ensure that the appropriate files are transferred. We will maintain access to the data only until our current agreement expires, currently scheduled for March 2023. We will retain all raw and cleaned data files used in this study, as well as program logs and output, until that point.

Employer Responses to Family Leave Programs
Rita Ginja, Arizo Karimi, and Pengpeng Xiao
https://doi.org/10.1257/app.20200448
Data Availability: Access to the data is restricted and protected according to §8, chapter 24 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (2009:400). Researchers wishing to replicate the results in the paper can apply for access to the analysis data from the Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy (IFAU). Researchers located within the EU will in general be able to access the data for replication purposes through a remote connection to IFAU's servers or using a terminal on location at IFAU. However, IFAU will make a formal decision on a case-by-case basis, after examination pursuant to chapter 24, §8 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (2009:400), to disclose analysis data with a reservation of secrecy in accordance with chapter 10, §14 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act.
