In attempting to duplicate Steven Levitt's empirical finding that legalized abortion after 1973 helped reduce crime rates in the 1970s, researchers found signicant errors in the coding of Levitt's dataset. Nevertheless, Levitt reports that his results stand even after correcting for the coding errors. Where do I get one of those robust estimators where even if I code my data wrong I still get the answers I want?
