Work Progress

I spent almost all of today checking for spelling errors. Almost 10,000 names show up as the institution from which an economist published an article. And that is just outside of the US. Many are simple misspellings or multiple spellings from transliterations. Two-thirds of these institutions show up just once and are not likely to make it into my analysis. However, if it is a misspelling of a big university, I should try to catch it. I have gone through the file once now and fixed as many as I could find. Will try again tomorrow. Today was a 2 out of 5.
