Replication package: Protectionist U.S. Trade Policies and the Cross-Section of Emerging Market Currency Returns (Emerging Markets Review)

What is NOT included: No third-party data are redistributed, neither licensed nor public. The analysis relies on several proprietary/licensed sources the authors may not share (intraday exchange rates from LSEG/Refinitiv Thomson Reuters Tick History; Iowa Electronic Markets contract prices; S&P sovereign credit ratings; ICRG political-risk ratings) as well as publicly available sources (e.g. UN Comtrade, World Bank WDI, External Wealth of Nations, IMF, Chinn–Ito, Manifesto Project, USTR).

For each source, DATA_AVAILABILITY.md and the folder READMEs document the provider, how to obtain it, and the required file format. How to reproduce: Obtain each data source from its provider and place the files in data/raw_restricted/ and data/raw_public/ using the documented filenames and formats (the bundled EXAMPLE_*.xlsx files show the expected layout). Then set global root in code/master.do to the package location and run master.do.

The pipeline regenerates the analysis dataset and all tables and figures into output/.
