Original collectionUnder development

Under development — library extension. This report is part of the expanded-library work, not the original collection. Source preparation, methods and results are subject to revision.

Provisional eligibility assessment — under development. PDF audit reopened this assessment; no new comparison is admitted. Exposed/control tracts around merger-driven branch consolidation supply a reduced-form DiD. The IV effect of branch closures is a different estimand. A binary exposure comparison may be a candidate, but cannot be relabeled the IV effect; recorded numerical checks still apply. This working assessment is not fully vetted and may change. See the report below for its recorded replication or assessment status. Provisional eligibility log

Template assessment

The stacked tract-merger model with source controls and county-by-year effects produces an ill-conditioned design and invalid contrast covariance in the common-template regression. No estimate or F-test decision is published from that run.

No comparison point or homogeneity-test decision is assigned to this paper.

Source coefficient	Template on source sample	Source N	Template source-sample N

The source and comparison coefficients use different specifications or aggregation targets, as stated above; they are not an exact-replication comparison.
