Replication Package for "Sequencing Structural Reforms Under Institutional Constraints" (Economic Systems)

This repository provides the complete replication package for "Sequencing Structural Reforms Under Institutional Constraints: A Dynamic Political Economy Model Calibrated to Tunisia," forthcoming in Economic Systems (Elsevier).
The paper develops a dynamic political economy framework to examine how reform sequencing shapes political feasibility under conditions of institutional fragility. Using post-revolution Tunisia (2011–2023) as a calibrated case study, the model evaluates alternative reform sequences through Monte Carlo simulations.
