Replication Package for "The Slave Trade and the Origins of Mistrust in Africa: Comment"

Nunn and Wantchekon (2011) detect a long-lasting impact of the slave trade on currenttrust levels across ethnic groups in Africa. They use data from Afrobarometer’s wave 3to construct trust measures. Using data from more recent waves which were collectedafter the paper was published, I fail to replicate some of the paper’s central findings.Plausible explanations are discussed.
