Replication package for "Pesticide Ban and Suicide Mortality in South Korea: Comparison-Group Evidence from a Continuous-Treatment Difference-in-Differences Design"

Replication package for the manuscript "Pesticide Ban and Suicide Mortality inSouth Korea: Comparison-Group Evidence from a Continuous-TreatmentDifference-in-Differences Design." Contents. Stata, R, and Python code implementing the full analysis pipeline; thederived district-year (sigungu x year) analytic panel; a codebook (CODEBOOK.md);a README with a code-to-exhibit mapping (which script produces each table andfigure); and the package license. Reproduction. Running the master script (00_master.do) reproduces all exhibits:the default path regenerates the crop-share panels from the shipped analysispanel (Tier 2.5) and then runs the estimation and export steps (Tier 3). Stepsthat rebuild the panel from the underlying source microdata require restricteddata and are included for provenance only; standard replication starts from theshipped derived panel. Data provenance and terms. The analyses use de-identified secondarycause-of-death microdata obtained through the Microdata Integrated Service (MDIS)of Statistics Korea (now the Ministry of Data and Statistics). The individualmicrodata are third-party data that cannot be redistributed. This packagetherefore contains only sigungu-by-year aggregates, released under the author'sMDIS data-use terms; the district-year counts include small cells. This package supplements the associated article; the article DOI will be addedupon publication.
