Thanks. I did a similar search in REStat's Dataverse archive, and found [one example](https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/28521)

<p>Can anyone suggest examples of relatively simple applied micro papers (e.g. an RCT or straightforward regression model) of possible interest to a general audience, that have their data and code, written in R, as opposed to Stata or anything else, in a public Internet repository? </p>

<p>That's a lot of conditions, but I'm hoping for examples that meet all of them. AER, AEJ: Applied, REStud and REStat all have nice public repositories. With the exception of REStat, which uses Dataverse, the repositories aren't searchable, so it's a pain to look through each set of files to see whether they use R or Stata. Most everyone, myself included, uses Stata, but I'd like to find some papers using R.</p>
