Use when assembling the mandatory JAE Data Archive deposit for an accepted Journal of Applied Econometrics paper — plain-ASCII/CSV data with a readme, the programs that replicate every result, and the confidential-data exception. Encodes the archive's actual format rules (no bare .dta/SAS) and its history (Queen's 1994–2022, now ZBW).

# Replication & Data Policy for JAE (jape-replication-and-data-policy)
Use this from day one, not only after acceptance — the deposit is the journal's signature norm.
## When to trigger
- Preparing the data/code deposit for an accepted JAE paper
- Handling confidential or restricted data under JAE's policy
- Auditing whether your package meets the archive's format rules before deposit
## The signature requirement
JAE's defining norm: **authors of accepted papers must deposit a complete set of the data used onto the Journal's Data Archive, unless the data are confidential.** The archive has held data for **all papers accepted since January 1994** and also stores **programs, technical appendices, and supplementary material**. Hosted at **Queen's University (1994–2022, maintainer J. G. MacKinnon)**, it **moved to ZBW's Journal Data Archive (journaldata.zbw.eu) in 2022** (~1,487 datasets).
