Replication Package: de Groot & Skok (2026) Defense Spending, Cost of Living, and the Optimal Exchange Rate Regime during Wartime in Ukraine
Description
This dataset contains the replication materials for the paper "Defense Spending, Cost of Living, and the Optimal Exchange Rate Regime during Wartime in Ukraine" by Oliver de Groot and Yevhenii Skok (Economic Modelling, 2026). The repository includes MATLAB code, calibration files, processed data, original data sources, and documentation required to reproduce all tables and figures reported in the paper. The repository is organized into two main components. The first contains the structural model and simulation code used to generate the model-based results, including calibration routines, equilibrium computations, and figure-generation scripts. The second contains the empirical replication files, data preparation procedures, and MATLAB code used to reproduce the empirical figures. Detailed replication instructions are provided in the README files included with each component.
