Voluntary Capital Buffers and Risk-Taking in Dual Banking Systems

Description

This replication package provides all publicly available data, code, and instructions required to reproduce the main empirical results of the paper. It is designed to ensure transparency and enable independent verification of all statistical findings reported in the study.

Steps to reproduce

This folder contains Stata Replication do Revised, a self-contained do-file that can be executed sequentially once the data files are placed in the correct directory. The do-file proceeds in three steps: • Data merging: The three Excel files are imported into Stata and merged sequentially using the merge 1:1 command, with codeyear as the key variable. This ensures that the entire dataset construction process is performed within Stata, providing full transparency and replicability. • Data cleaning: The sample is restricted to commercial banks and observations with missing year identifiers are dropped. • Empirical analysis: All regression models and robustness checks reported in the paper are executed sequentially. Note: Users must set the working directory at the top of the do-file before execution. 2.3 Log_File This folder contains a Stata log file in text format, generated during a complete execution of the do-file. The log records all commands, intermediate outputs, and final results, enabling other researchers to verify and trace every step of the analytical workflow.
