Replication package for: Beyond Deepening: Bank Ownership, Credit Allocation, and the Finance-Growth Nexus in the Western Balkans and CEE Peers

Version 1.1 (September 2026) — round-2 robustness additions`robustness_additions.py` (Python; requires pandas, numpy, statsmodels, matplotlib) adds, on the same `panel_live_analysis.csv`:leave-one-country-out re-estimates of Models 1–3, the threshold model and Model 4 (paper Table 6, Appendix C);the EU/non-EU split (Table 7); the GDP-per-capita-growth specification (Table 8), with per-capita growthconstructed as real GDP growth minus population growth from `pop_growth_wdi.csv` (WDI SP.POP.GROW, accessed24 Sep 2026; re-fetched automatically if the cache is absent); the delta-method marginal effects of foreignownership (Table 5); and Figures 2–4 (`fig_threshold_LR.png`, `fig_ownership_marginal.png`, `fig_composition.png`).All additions use the two-way fixed-effects estimator; the script first reproduces the published FE anchors andthe threshold estimate before running the new exercises. Console output: `robustness_round2_log.txt`.
