Description

This dataset includes the online appendix, original data, and Stata do-file to replicate all figures and tables in the paper titled "Poetry and Distant Places: How Tang and Song Literature Shapes China's Modern Tourism Economy." VERSION NOTES (v2): - main.do has been revised: all local path macros replaced with global macros ($raw, $intm, $tabs, $figs) to ensure cross-platform reproducibility across operating systems; some first-stage results and IV test statistics produced directly. - All output filenames and results are unchanged from v1. - A log file (output/main_run.log) from a verified successful run is now included. - README.md updated with full output-to-manuscript mapping. CONTENTS: - main.do : Master script; runs all analyses end-to-end - data/raw/ : Raw data files - data/intermediate/ : Intermediate datasets produced during analysis - output/tables/ : All regression tables (.doc / .docx) - output/figures/ : All code-generated figures (.pdf / .gph) - output/main_run.log : Log file from a verified successful run - README.md : Full documentation including software requirements, variable descriptions, and output-to-manuscript mapping SOFTWARE: Stata 17 (or later).
