Replicating Sachs and Warner’s Working Papers on the Resource Curse
尝试复制Sachs和Warner 1995和1997年关于资源诅咒的工作论文，发现1995年论文因缺乏数据存档无法复制，1997年论文可完全复制，但资源诅咒的制度原因对样本不稳健，且结果对估计方法敏感。
This article reports on my attempt to replicate Sachs and Warner’s 1995 and 1997 resource curse working papers. The 1995 paper is not replicable for lack of a data archive. Pure replication of the 1997 paper is achieved. Statistical replication determines that the proposed institutional causes of the resource curse are not robust to country sample. Scientific replication shows that findings of a resource curse are not sensitive to different measures of resource intensiveness, though they are sensitive to estimation technique. Typographical errors in the published paper reveal the value of researchers making both their data and code available.
