Replication package for "Open to knowledge, closed to newcomers? Digital capability, online recruitment and inclusive hiring in Morocco and seven African economies"

Code and aggregated results behind the article "Open to knowledge, closed to newcomers? Digital capability, online recruitment and inclusive hiring in Morocco and seven African economies". Study 2 analyses 100,123 online job ads posted on Morocco's Rekrute job board, 2006-2022, using the public corpus by Fettach, Bahaj and Ghogho (2024) on Hugging Face; the scripts rebuild the cleaned ad-level data from that corpus. Study 1 analyses World Bank Enterprise Surveys of 6,265 firms in eight African countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Kenya, Nigeria, Cameroon). Enterprise Survey microdata are not redistributed; the package contains only aggregated results. Also included: validation of the text measures against manual coding of 300 ads by two coders, robustness checks, and a script that checks every number reported in the article against the output tables.
