These folders contain all of the materials necessary to replicate all empirical analyses in the article. All data from original sources is contained in the “Raw Data” folder. The README file in this folder describes the various data in detail. 

To run the analysis, open the “R Scripts” folder. The files are ordered as they should be run and as the analysis appears in the paper. They are further described in the “Scripts_README” file in the folder. Please start by reading the “Scripts_README” file before attempting any analysis.

The CalcData folder contains data that are produced by other scripts in the “R Scripts” folder and the “Wordscores_Rep_Materials” folder. They are used in various analyses as described in the R scripts. 

Wordscores_Rep_Materials folder contains all materials for producing the wordscores positions. The position data are stored in the CalcData folder and all analyses can be run without having to reproduce the wordscores results.

FinalPlots contains the plots that appear in the paper and which are outputs of the various scripts.

BraunetalReplication contains the data from the Braeuninger et al paper.
