Dataset and Variable Description
Tables and Figures in the paper are based on several datasets, described below. Note that the ammonia price series are proprietary to Green Markets / Bloomberg and are not part of the replication package. To replicate results involving the ammonia price series, the series must be obtained directly from the provider to replace missing columns in the Excel files.
Code Description
All figures and tables except Table 3 (IV estimations) are produced in R.
The main file is “Replication_file_part1.Rmd”. It relies on the auxiliary file “helper.R”.
The simulations in the online appendix are produced by the file “Replication_file_IV_simulations.Rmd”.
The results presented in Table 3 are produced in STATA. The data and code in Table 3 is contained in the folder “Table 3”. The variables are described in the STATA do-file.
