ECIN Replication Package for "Who Bears the Cost of Nationalism? A Spatial Analysis on the Unintended Spillover Effects of Boycotts"

This project contains the replication package for my paper titled "Who Bears the Cost of Nationalism? A Spatial Analysis on the Unintended Spillover Effects of Boycotts."<br><br>The paper abstract is: Politically motivated boycotts aim to harm the sales of goods associated with foreign rivals, but can also harm the domestic economy if the goods are domestically produced. This paper examines the unintended effects of the 2012 Chinese boycott of Japanese cars on China’s automobile supply chain. By comparing changes in employment between auto parts and non-parts industries located at various distances from Japanese joint ventures (JVs), I find that auto parts manufacturers near the Japanese JVs experienced a 10-17% reduction in employment after the boycott.<br><br>The replication package contains all the data and code used to generate the results of the paper and provides instructions on how to run the code to obtain these results.<br>
