Replication package for "Choosing Between Aggregation and Disaggregation Across Changing Administrative Geographies: A Risk-Bound Framework"

This archive contains the replication package for the manuscript “Choosing Between Aggregation and Disaggregation Across Changing Administrative Geographies: A Risk-Bound Framework”. The package includes: analysis code; derived datasets; source-provenance records; expected outputs; a data dictionary; documentation for reproducing the reported simulations, sensitivity analyses, and empirical summaries. The archive reproduces the main reported benchmark values, including: analytic/empirical primary crossover near 0.176; Delaware real-geometry controlled crossover near 0.10; maximum Delaware child income range of USD 103,368; maximum Indonesian child AHH range of 3.98 years. Important interpretation limits:Median income is included only as an illustration of observed child heterogeneity and is not treated as a population-aggregable variable. AHH is treated as a population-weighted index rather than pooled demographic life expectancy. The risk crossover applies only under the manuscript’s explicit interchangeable-support panel-design convention.
