Replication package: Clustered convergence of digital creative firm entry in urban China (anonymized for peer review)

Anonymized replication materials for the manuscript "Clustered Convergence: Spatial Dynamics and Multiscale Correlates of Digital Creative Firm Entry in Urban China" (under review). The archive contains: (1) city-year panels for 285 Chinese prefecture-level cities, 2012-2022, with the dependent-variable family and covariates and a codebook; (2) de-identified firm-level identification outputs for 5,837,010 registration records (no firm names or identifiers); (3) the identification rule v1.1 with its frozen specification, code-by-code rule table, official catalogue items, tests, run scripts and SHA256 sums; (4) the independent blind validation of the rule (stratified sample of 2,530 firms with weights, judgments and estimates) and the development sample of 1,000 firms; (5) all analysis scripts with run order and software versions; (6) result workbooks, supplementary tables, figures and MGWR run files. Raw registration files, yearbook workbooks and the base map are licensed and are not redistributed; see LICENSE_NOTE.md. Author information will be added after peer review. Version 1.1 accompanies the revised manuscript. Firm identification now uses identification rule v1.1 (five conclusions A-E; main measure = conclusion A, independent legal entities), which replaces rule v0.6p1 of version 1.0; all panels, results, tables and figures were regenerated. Added: the independent blind validation sample with its estimates (validation/independent_validation_v1.1.csv, independent_validation_estimates.xlsx), the scripts that attach the rule's conclusions to the firm table (code/28b_align_v11.py, 29b_v11_diagnostics.py) and estimate precision and recall (code/29c_v11_validation_domain.py), and a check that the deposited rule copy classifies exactly as the frozen rule (rule_v1.1/说明/anonymization_check.json). Removed: rule_v0.6p1/. Version 1.2 (2026-10-26) only renumbers the three supplementary figures by their order of citation in the manuscript (Fig. S1 rose diagrams, S2 bandwidth trajectories, S3 local-coefficient maps) and renames the corresponding files in results/figures and code; data, rule, validation and results are unchanged.
