imfer-replication-package
Use when an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript's data and code must be packaged for reproducibility — including restricted IMF/central-bank data paths, cross-country source lineage, and a runnable environment. Builds the package; it does not produce the exhibits (imfer-tables-figures) or run the submission preflight (imfer-submission).

# Replication Package (imfer-replication-package)
## When to trigger
- The analysis is settled and the data/code package must be assembled before submission or at acceptance
- Some inputs are **restricted** (IMF program data, central-bank micro data, proprietary flows) and cannot be redistributed
- A cross-country dataset stitches many sources (IFS, BOP, WEO, BIS, EPFR, national accounts) and the lineage is undocumented
- A referee or editor asks for a reproducibility check or a data-availability statement
- Code runs only on one machine; seeds, versions, and the build order are not pinned
## The IMFER reproducibility reality
IMFER work leans on **international-macro data that is often partly restricted** — IMF surveillance data, central-bank confidential series, commercial flow data (EPFR), or program-specific files. The package must make everything **reproducible in principle even when some inputs cannot be shipped**: provide the build scripts, the exact source and vintage of each series, and clear instructions for obtaining the restricted inputs, so a replicator with access can rebuild the analysis dataset and regenerate every exhibit. Confirm the journal's current data-availability and deposit requirements on the official pages (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
