Thanks. I feel like sometimes when I read certain papers I don't know what the unit of observation is: woman, event, woman-year, potential-event-year... I think depending on your estimator and your strategy, any of those might be appropriate, but I was curious what the calendar variable creates. Got it.

"I use Excel a lot when I'm managing data, especially for repetitious work, because I'm too lazy and impatient to do it manually." - Me too! Auto-fill has saved me hours and hours of stupid code writing (followed by stupid typo de-bugging). Sometimes a loop is more elegant, but sometimes that trade-off isn't worth the time and energy.
