Steps to reproduce
1. Download and extract the full replication archive. 2. Set the working directory in R to the root replication folder. 3. Run the master replication script: source("Master_Replication.R", encoding = "UTF-8") This script loads all pre-estimated model objects (.rds) used in the manuscript and prints complete model summaries. No datasets are rebuilt and no models are re-estimated. Successful execution verifies all tables and model-based appendices reported in the article. 4. (Optional) To re-estimate models from the shareable, aggregated datasets, run the analysis scripts in the following order: - build_did_analytical_panel.R - estimate_core_did_and_event_studies.R - analyze_deadline_and_historical_patterns.R - online_vs_inperson_placebo_ddd.R Re-estimation is optional because the replication archive includes the exact saved model objects used in the paper. Note: Individual-level administrative microdata from Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court (TSE) are legally restricted and cannot be redistributed. All results can be reproduced using the derived, aggregated datasets provided in this repository.
