aeja-replication-package

Use when assembling the data and code replication package for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Builds the openICPSR deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

# Replication Package & AEA Data Policy (aeja-replication-package)

## When to trigger

- The paper is empirical and you are heading toward acceptance (or want to build the package early)
- An R&R or conditional acceptance asks you to prepare the data + code deposit
- You need to write the README and Data Availability Statement to AEA standard
- Some data are restricted/proprietary and you must plan the deposit around that

## Why this is the AEJ: Applied signature

The single most distinctive AEJ: Applied differentiator is the **AEA Data and Code Availability Policy**, administered by the **AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber)**. Papers offered a revise-and-resubmit are asked to submit a data replication package at resubmission, and accepted papers must clear the Data Editor's compliance and reproducibility checks before publication. The default home is the **AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR**; other trusted repositories require appropriate Data Editor access. Build this package as you analyze; do not treat it as an acceptance-day formality.

## What the package must contain
