replication data and code> The chain seen from below: position, discipline and escape in global value chains — evidence from Brazil

Replication package for the article "The chain seen from below: position, discipline and escape in global value chains — evidence from Brazil" (under review). Contains: a firm-level panel of 1,520 firm-years for 99 listed firms (29 Brazilian, 70 chain counterparts, 2009–2025), built entirely from open public filings (Brazil's CVM, dados.cvm.gov.br; SEC XBRL company-facts, data.sec.gov; OECD TiVA 2025 edition; ADB multi-region input–output tables); the Python extraction, construction and validation code (25 scripts); the position coding protocol as issued and three independent codings with agreement statistics; permutation inference routines (fixed seed 20260724, 5,000 draws); and the JSON outputs behind every table and figure in the article and its supplementary appendix. The package rebuilds every reported number from the public sources; the validation log closes with zero failures. Restricted during peer review; public upon acceptance.
