Replication Package for "The Power of Title: Unintended Consequences of a Place-Based Innovation Policy in China"

This replication package accompanies the paper titled “The Power of Title: Unintended Consequences of a Place-Based Innovation Policy in China.”

To fulfill reproducibility standards, the package includes:

A fully processed firm-year panel dataset (Replication_Dataset.dta) used to generate all empirical results in the paper;

A cleaned supporting dataset (Figure1.dta) used to construct Figure 1 on the geographic distribution of policy coverage;

Stata scripts for data processing (Data_Management.do) and for generating all figures and tables in the main text (Replication_do.do);

A user-written Stata program (regcurve.do) used to generate Figure 3;

A TablesFigs/ subfolder that stores all output files;

A comprehensive README file (Readme.pdf) with instructions on running the code.

Due to data licensing restrictions, the original raw data (e.g., firm-level administrative records and official policy documents) cannot be shared. However, the included final dataset is sufficient to reproduce all results presented in the paper.

Researchers interested in accessing the original data under appropriate conditions may contact the authors.

本复现套件配套于题为《标题的力量：中国地方型创新政策的意外后果》的学术论文。

为满足可复现性标准，本套件包含以下内容：
- 经完整处理的企业-年度面板数据集（Replication_Dataset.dta），用于生成论文中所有实证结果；
- 经清洗的辅助数据集（Figure1.dta），用于绘制展示政策覆盖范围地理分布的图1；
- 用于数据处理的Stata脚本（Data_Management.do），以及用于生成正文全部图表的Stata脚本（Replication_do.do）；
- 用户编写的Stata程序（regcurve.do），用于绘制图3；
- TablesFigs/子文件夹，用于存储所有输出文件；
- 详尽的README文件（Readme.pdf），提供代码运行指南。

受数据许可协议限制，本套件无法提供原始数据（例如企业层面行政记录与官方政策文件）。但本套件包含的最终数据集已足够复现论文中展示的全部研究结果。

若有研究者希望在符合合规条件下获取原始数据，可联系论文作者。
