aejmac-replication-package

Use when assembling the data, code, and documentation package for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Covers macro specifics (simulation/calibration code, restricted-access data); it does not write the analysis itself.

# Replication Package (aejmac-replication-package)

## When to trigger

- A paper is heading toward conditional acceptance and the AEA Data Editor check is next
- You have simulation/calibration code but have never packaged it for a reviewer to run
- The data include a restricted/proprietary source (confidential micro data, licensed series)
- You want to build the package *as you go* rather than scrambling at acceptance

## The AEA reproducibility regime (verified 2026-06; re-confirm on the official AEA pages)

- Governed by the **AEA Data and Code Availability Policy**. Conditionally accepted papers undergo a review by the **AEA Data Editor** (Lars Vilhuber) **before publication**, including **reproducibility checks** and verification of the information provided.
- Deposit in the **AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR** (use is strongly encouraged; other trusted repositories may be allowed with Data Editor approval). Materials are posted with the article.
- **Code scope is broad** — and this is the macro-critical point: the policy covers data cleaning **and** "estimation, **simulation**, model solution, and **visualization**" code. For AEJ: Macro, the **DSGE/HANK solver, the calibration/estimation routines, and the simulation code must all be in the package**, not only the regression scripts.
