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. Primary estimand uses permitted sales hours, but authors also estimate binary sales-ban specifications in Table 5 column 4. They explicitly caution that these discard relevant variation and are low-powered. Consider only that author-defined alternative, not an invented threshold or equivalent headline estimand. 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 original liquor-sales regressions use hours of permitted Sunday on-premise and off-premise sales. Captured liqonsun takes 15 values from 0 to 21, including 17.5 and 19.5; liqoffsun takes 18 values. These are intensity measures, not binary policy adoption. The source coefficient is retained, but no thresholded treatment is constructed.

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

The source regression was re-estimated on 1,196 observations before this assessment.
