Steps to reproduce
General Instructions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please put all files in the replication package in the same folder. There are four types of files in the replication package: Excel files, Stata do files, Matlab m files, and Word files. You will need all files for the full replication: 1) readme.docx: repeats the contents of this template; 2) main replication files: main.do and main.m; 3) raw and constructed variables: main.xlsx; 4) plotting maps: worldcoor.dta; 5) loading data: loaddata.m and 6) auxiliary subroutines: epsclean.m; getpos.m; hatchfill2.m; legendflex.m. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replication of figures in the paper ------------------------------------- Figure 1 - run part 1 of main.m Figure 2 - run part 2 of main.m Figure 3 - run part 3 of main.m Figure 4 - run part 4 of main.m Figure 5 - run part 5 of main.m; the inputs for plotting Figure 5 are in tabs “Simulation_graph(Data)”, “Simulation_graph(Model)”, “Simulation_graph(ModelLower)”, “Simulation_graph(ModelUpper)” of main.xlsx Figure 6 - run part 6 of main.m; the inputs for plotting Figure 6 and the detailed computation are in tab “Counterfactuals_new” of main.xlsx Replication of tables in the paper ------------------------------------ Table 1 - run tab “Prod_Trade_Data” of main.xlsx; results in tab “Prod_Trade_Result” Table 2 - run part III of tab “CTVD_BetaVD” of main.xlsx Table 3 - run tab “TA_wedges” of main.xlsx Table 4 - run part 1 of main.do for the BM case, run part 2 of main.do for the IV case, and run part 3 of main.do for the EUV case Table 5 - run part I and II of tab “CTVD_BetaVD” of main.xlsx Figures in the Technical Appendix (Not for Publication) ----------------------------------------------------------- Figure A1 - run part 7 of main.m Figure A2 - run part 4 of main.do Figure A3 - run part 6 of main.do Figure A4-A9 - run part 8 of main.m Figure A10-A11 - run part 7 of main.do Figure A12 - run part 8 of main.do Figure A13 - run part 9 of main.m; the inputs for plotting Figure A13 and the detailed computation are in tab “Counterfactuals_new” of main.xlsx Figure A14 - run part 10 of main.m; the inputs for plotting Figure A14 and the detailed computation are in tab “Counterfactuals_new” of main.xlsx Tables in the Technical Appendix (Not for Publication) ---------------------------------------------------------- Table A1 - it is data directly scrapped from the magazine, the Automotive Industries Table A2 - run part 5 of main.do Table A3 - run part 2 of main.do Table A4 - run part 2 of main.do Table A5 - run part 3 of main.do
