Replication Materials for Peer Effects on Influenza Vaccination in a Japanese City

Replication materials for a published study on peer effects in influenza vaccination using administrative data from a city in Japan. The repository contains Stata code, aggregated results, and documentation to reproduce the main empirical findings. The original individual-level microdata are not publicly distributed due to confidentiality.

Use Cases

• Replicate peer effect analyses based on aggregated vaccination data.
• Study social influence on health behaviors using administrative data.
• Validate econometric methods for network effects described in the documentation.

Strengths

• Includes a full replication package with Stata code and aggregated results.
• Provides detailed documentation on data construction and variable definitions.
• Reproduces findings from a peer-reviewed article published in Japan and the World Economy.

Limitations

• The core individual-level administrative records are confidential and not included.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from aggregated results.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
