Replication package for: Trust in Whom? Channel-Specific Trust and Collective Action in Developing Countries

Replication package for the manuscript "Trust in Whom? Channel-Specific Trust and Collective Action in Developing Countries" (version 23, June 2026), under review.The paper distinguishes channel-specific trust — trust in the entity that delivers a collective good — from generic interpersonal trust, and shows that only the former predicts enrollment in voluntary community-based health insurance schemes. The analysis covers 6,939 households across India (4,931 households in 7 states from the ECCP program) and Nepal (2,008 households in Banke and Dhading districts).This package reproduces every numerical claim in §3 and §4 of the manuscript using the raw survey data. It contains:- 22 section scripts, one per manuscript section/subsection (§3.5 through §4.10), each writing a JSON output;- a master runner (00_REPLICATE_ALL.R) that sources all 22 section scripts, then builds an itemized verdict report;- the verdict builder (Tb_v23_build_verdict_report.R), which compares every reproduced value against the manuscript target and tags it LOCKED, CLOSE, MISMATCH, or REPORTED;- the most recent verdict outputs in 09_REPLICATION_PACKAGE/outputs/ (VERDICT_REPORT.md and VERDICT_REPORT.csv), confirming 54 of 54 v23 manuscript headline claims locked within rounding tolerance;- documentation (top-level README.md and 09_REPLICATION_PACKAGE/README.md);- SHA-256 sums for the three raw survey data files (in the top-level README.md), enabling reviewers to verify data integrity.The three raw data files are not redistributed in this deposit (per the terms of access of the original surveys): ECCP_Primary_Jan2007_v1.1.07.sav (India), Banke-22Apr11_CostEstimation.dta and Dhading-22Apr11_CostEstimation.dta (Nepal). Reviewers may request access from the original survey custodians; the master runner resolves these via recursive search on the local filesystem.Tested on Windows 11 / RStudio / R 4.5.2. Total runtime approximately 12 minutes. Auto-installs missing packages (foreign, haven, jsonlite).
