Replication code and data for: Are carbon tariffs climate policy?

Climate Trade Analysis

This archive contains the reproducibility code and data for a working paper by Casey, Meng, and Rudik. Running the pipeline reproduces every figure and table in the paper from the raw inputs.

Prerequisites: Stata (MP or SE), Julia 1.11+ (via juliaup), GNU Make, standard Unix utilities (curl, unzip, awk, bc, python3), internet access on the first run, and at least 3 GB of free disk space.

The build is a four-stage pipeline (data preparation -> shock preparation -> model solver -> paper analysis) driven by a top-level make. Stata package versions are vendored and Julia package versions are pinned, so the environment is fully reproducible. Run with a plain make, not make -j.
