Data for Leaving Before the Party is Over: Evidence from News of Pharmaceutical Malpractice in Nigeria

These panel datasets uses proprietary publication data from the Elsevier Scopus database, but is made available in aggregated format at the individual-year level.
The dataset "personleveldata_Nigeria_clean.dta" comprises publication histories of researchers affiliated with a Nigerian institution from the years 1993-2008. We use this dataset to compare outcomes in publication counts across Nigerian researchers before and after the WP news article (2000). Treated researchers are identified as those affiliated with an institution in a boycotting Nigerian state; control researchers are those who affiliate with an institution in a non-boycotting Nigerian state.
The dataset "personleveldata_NigeriaGhana_clean.dta" comprises publication histories of researchers affiliated with a Nigerian or Ghanian institution from the years 1993-2008. We use this dataset in our robustness check analyses which include Ghanian Muslim states as a placebo group. Treated researchers are identified as those affiliated with an institution in a Muslim-majority Nigerian or Ghanian state; control researchers are those who affiliate with an institution in a non-Muslim Nigerian or Ghanian state.

本面板数据集采用来自Elsevier Scopus数据库的专有出版物数据，但以按年度汇总的形式提供。数据集“personleveldata_Nigeria_clean.dta”包含了1993至2008年间与尼日利亚机构相关联的研究者的出版历史。本研究利用此数据集，对比了尼日利亚研究者在大规模媒体新闻报道（2000年）前后在出版物数量方面的成果。接受处理的研究者被认定为与尼日利亚抵制州内的机构有关联；对照研究者则是与尼日利亚非抵制州内的机构有关联。数据集“personleveldata_NigeriaGhana_clean.dta”则包含了1993至2008年间与尼日利亚或加纳机构相关联的研究者的出版历史。在包括加纳穆斯林州作为安慰剂组的稳健性检验分析中，我们使用了此数据集。接受处理的研究者被认定为与尼日利亚或加纳的穆斯林多数州内的机构有关联；对照研究者则是与尼日利亚或加纳的非穆斯林州内的机构有关联。
