Does Public Data Openness Reduce Boundary Pollution? Evidence from Interprovincial Neighboring Cities in China

Description of the Five Datasets city_border.dta This panel dataset contains data on interprovincial neighboring cities in China from 2008 to 2021. It includes environmental indicators, socioeconomic variables, and public data openness measures used for the main empirical analysis of boundary pollution. city_all.dta This dataset covers all prefecture-level cities in China during the same period. It serves as a broader sample for robustness checks and additional analyses beyond the border cities. firm_border.dta Panel data of industrial firms located in the boundary regions, including firm-level performance, pollution emissions, and innovation indicators. It supports the study of firm behavior in response to public data openness and environmental policies. do.do A Stata DO file containing all code for data cleaning, variable construction, and econometric modeling. Running this script reproduces the empirical results presented in the paper. Replication_Package_Readme.pdf A documentation file explaining the contents of the replication package, data sources, processing steps, and instructions for reproducing the study results. It also includes contact information for inquiries.五个数据集说明 city_border.dta 本面板数据集涵盖2008至2021年中国省际毗邻城市的相关数据，包含环境指标、社会经济变量与公共数据开放度指标，用于边界污染主题的核心实证分析。 city_all.dta 该数据集覆盖同期中国全部地级市样本，可作为更广泛的分析样本，用于除毗邻城市之外的稳健性检验与拓展性研究。 firm_border.dta 该数据集为位于边界区域的工业企业面板数据，包含企业层面经营绩效、污染排放与创新指标，可用于研究企业针对公共数据开放政策与环境规制的行为响应。 do.do 这是一份Stata DO格式文件，包含数据清洗、变量构建与计量建模的全部代码，运行该脚本可复现论文中呈现的实证结果。 Replication_Package_Readme.pdf 该文档为复现包说明文件，对复现包的内容、数据来源、处理步骤以及研究结果复现流程进行讲解，同时包含咨询联系方式。
