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 asylum-grant regression uses continuous case-day temperature temp6t4 with rich fixed effects. Temperature shocks are not binary absorbing adoption. This working assessment is not fully vetted and may change. See the report below for its recorded replication or assessment status.

Under development — community extension. This is a provisional source-design assessment, not a new successful replication or a final eligibility ruling.

Source design and template applicability

The asylum-grant regression uses continuous case-day temperature temp6t4 with rich fixed effects. Temperature shocks are not binary absorbing adoption.

No DiD estimates, uncertainty intervals or homogeneity-test decision were computed in this tranche. No point is added to the calibration plots. This is not a zero effect or a failed statistical test.

Recorded treatment-column measurement

1,697 distinct nonmissing values in temp6t4.

Current-day 6am–4pm temperature before division by 1000; scaling does not change support. N=269,269; missing=15,686. Frame: selected_source_data. Source: /Volumes/LAL_BAK/did-cardinality-work/packages/Heyes_Saberian_AEJ-Applied_2019_113722/data/Data/final/matched.dta.

These are the existing data-measured counts, not counts inferred from design labels. A binary instrument, group indicator or interaction component need not be the treatment of interest; the source-design assessment above takes precedence for template applicability.

Replication status

This tranche: unsupported design; source code/documentation inspected, no estimator run.

Supplied library: verified; verification: verified; preparation: runs_with_shim. These are the library’s labels, not new verification claims. Missing data and unsupported designs are separate issues.

Evidence and provenance

The following files in the supplied library were inspected. Their SHA-256 digests are recorded in the downloadable assessment JSON. Source archives and microdata are not redistributed.
