Replication materials for a published study on city-level competition for talent in China. The dataset includes an Excel file with city-level indicators of high-skilled migration policies and replication scripts in R and Python. Author LEE, Siuyau published the data on Harvard Dataverse in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Replicate statistical analyses from the published article based on the provided R and Python scripts.
- Analyze city-level policy indicators for attracting skilled migrants based on the documented variables.
- Compare policy strategies across Chinese cities based on the constructed migration policy indicators.
Strengths
- Includes replication scripts in both R and Python, facilitating reproducibility.
- Provides a codebook documenting variable construction and sources, aiding interpretation.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
