Description: Supports the full analysis pipeline for researchers
        working with firm-level microdata. Provides data tools for
        panel preparation (import, outlier detection, classification
        harmonization), analytical methods (production function
        estimation, capital stock measurement, markups, intensity
        measures, distributions, regression, clustering), and
        disclosure tools for tagging outputs with dominance and
        observation counts before aggregation and publication.
        Production function estimation implements methods by Ackerberg,
        Caves and Frazer (2015) <doi:10.3982/ECTA13408>, Levinsohn and
        Petrin (2003) <doi:10.1111/1467-937X.00246>, Wooldridge (2009)
        <doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2009.04.026>, Petrin, Poi and Levinsohn
        (2004) <doi:10.1177/1536867X0400400202>, and Arellano and Bond
        (1991) <doi:10.2307/2297968> with the "too many instruments"
        correction by Roodman (2009)
        <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0084.2008.00542.x>. Markup estimation
        follows De Loecker and Warzynski (2012)
        <doi:10.1257/aer.102.6.2437>. Cost-share production function
        estimation follows Basu and Fernald (1997)
        <doi:10.1086/262073>. Capital stock estimation via the
        Perpetual Inventory Method follows OECD (2009)
