Replication files for “The Long-Run Effects of Colonial Institutions on Household Agricultural Assets: Evidence from Cameroon”

This replication package accompanies the paper “The Long-Run Effects of Colonial Institutions on Household Agricultural Assets: Evidence from Cameroon.” It contains a harmonized replication dataset of 12,007 household observations from the 2011 and 2018 Cameroon Demographic and Health Surveys and the 2022 Cameroon Malaria Indicator Survey, together with a Stata master do-file and detailed replication instructions. The dataset includes household agricultural-asset outcomes, household characteristics, survey weights, geographic distance to the historical British–French colonial boundary, treatment-side indicators, measures of access to markets and administrative centres, and indicators of local conflict exposure. The master do-file reproduces the balance tests, geographic regression-discontinuity estimates, heterogeneity analyses, robustness checks, conflict specifications, mechanism analyses, tables, and figures reported in the paper. The analysis was conducted using Stata 18 and requires the rdrobust package, which is installed automatically by the master do-file if necessary. No additional data preparation is required to run the replication package. Users should consult the README file for information on the package contents, software requirements, file paths, and execution instructions.
