Summary Statistics

• My original regression model was not producing significant results, so I'm taking a step back and am going to attempt to find patterns in the sample.
• At different thresholds of occupational risk (25th, 50th, 75th, 90th percentiles) compare means of insurance coverage, union membership, income, marriage

Ideally table will look like:

Variable	25th Percentile	50th Percentile	....
Included in Emp Health Plan	X.X	X.X	...
% Union Membership	Y.Y	Y.Y	....

Histogram

• It might also be helpful to create a boxplot that plots mean coverage rates against bins of fatality rates
• Still learning how to create plots in Stata, but here is a useful guide

Percentiles for Fatality Rates

• Lowest risk jobs (fatality rate below 25th percentile)

  • gen f_rate0 = (f_rate < 1.54)

• 25th percentile

  • gen f_rate25 = (f_rate >= 1.54)

• 50th percentile

  • gen f_rate50 = (f_rate >= 2.96)

• 75th percentile

  • gen f_rate75 = (f_rate >= 5.74)

• 95 percentile

  • gen f_rate95 = (f_rate >= 18.77)
