Jo Reynaerts and Jakob Vanschoonbeek, "The Economics of State Fragmentation: Assessing the Economic Impact of Secession", Journal of Applied Econometrics, Vol. 37, No. 1, 2022, pp. 82-115. The file "rv-files.zip" contains the main folder "Replication files", which in turn contains the six subfolders "1. Dofiles", "2. Raw data", "3. Intermediary results", "4. Master data", "5. TeX results" and "6. Logfiles", and a PDF document "Readme.pdf". The main dofile is "1. Master Dofile" and is located in the folder "1. Dofiles". This dofile uses all other dofiles to construct the master dataset from the raw data sources, located in "2. Raw data", and to estimate independence dividends and their potential determinants as outlined in the paper. The source of each raw data-file is identified in appendix table A1 of the paper and in do-file "1.1. Data collection" (lines 269-332), located in "1. Dofiles". Running the master dofile produces several intermediary results (e.g. synthetic control weights) saved in folder "3. Intermediary results"; the master dataset used for the empirical analysis and saved in the folder "4. Master data"; as well as all the figures and tables presented in the paper, exported to "5. TeX results". Logfiles corresponding to each step of the empirical analysis are saved in "6. Logfiles". Readme.pdf provides some additional technical details on the replication files.
