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. The focal contrast is first-term versus term-limited mayors; randomly sampled audits measure outcomes, rather than randomly assigning this treatment. The source is nevertheless cross-sectional in its main corruption target; the secondary grant-panel specification needs a separate study-design decision. 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 source 2004 election-year contrast reproduces, but the regression also includes first-term-mayor interactions for 2002 and 2003. Retaining those controls alongside the template’s full event-time path and 2003 reference creates exact linear dependencies. The reported source coefficient is relative to 2001, not the template’s minus-one baseline. A dedicated normalization is required; no arbitrarily normalized event coefficient or imputation comparison enters calibration.

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