• DATA_pour-tear-gas-on-fire_PSRM.dta: this is the main dataset. Variables construction and data sources can be found in Appendix A of the research note.
• DATA_pour-tear-gas-on-fire_PSRM_Stata_Shapefile.dta: this contains the shapefiles in Stata binary format to generate the contiguity matrices for the S-2SLS models.
• DATA_maps.RDS: this file contains the shapefile and the relevant variables from the main dataset (tgfreq, yoshinoya) to generate the three maps (Figures 1, A1 and A2) in the manuscript.

Scripts

• DO_pour-tear-gas-on-fire_PSRM.do: contains code in STATA to reproduce all figures and tables, except Figures 1, A1 and A2.
• R_Maps_Replication.R: contains code in R to reproduce Figures 1, A1 and A2.
