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. Deep DiD follow-up: The code uses repeated operational/capital referendum wins, their leads/lags, vote-share polynomials and district/year effects; reported effects are linear combinations (lines 82 onward). This is a binary temporal contrast, but not a single absorbing policy. Preserve the RD controls, repeated treatments and authored aggregation. This working assessment is not fully vetted and may change. See the report below for its recorded replication or assessment status. Provisional eligibility log

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 one-step dynamic referendum estimator uses close-election RD and many lagged vote outcomes/running-variable polynomials. Its ten-year lincom is not the binary-adoption ATT estimated by this template.

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

2 distinct nonmissing values in tmp_op_win_prev0.

Operating-referendum win indicators at event lags 0 and 1 in the author event-study design; other lags are separate indicators. N=7,676; missing=0. Frame: selected_source_data. Source: AEJ-Policy/Baron_AEJ-Policy_2022_125821/R/94_baron_replicate.R.

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.
