Replication Package for "Familiar Strangers: The Role of Diaspora Networks in Foreign Investment and Long-run Development" (INEC-D-24-00067)

This package replicates "Familiar Strangers: The Role of Diaspora Networks in Foreign Investment and Long-run Development" (Journal of International Economics, forthcoming) by Fanghao Chen, Ruichi Xiong, and Xiaobo Zhang. It contains the full Stata 17 pipeline (36 do-files, single-entry Main.do with module toggles) that reproduces every table and figure in the paper. Note: the two primary microdata sources (the SAIC firm-registration database and the 2005 China 1% Population Survey) are restricted-access and cannot be redistributed here; please contact the authors to arrange controlled remote access for full replication. See README.md for environment setup and runtime instructions, and INDEX.md for the mapping from each paper table and figure to the do-file that produces it.
