The replication code provided does not run out of the box. Line 8 of Replication_Code.do (the first line after a clear) is
use Trade_Flow.dta
However, Trade_Flow.dta is not included. There is a file titled Trade_Flows.dta, which was likely intended.
If that file is loaded, however, then line 12 attempts to create a variable share_value, which is already contained in the dataset, thus yielding the error, "variable share_value already defined"
The code should be updated to reference the correct datasets, and such that the provided commands run without error.
