Data not included in this reproducibility package (World Bank Reproducible Research Repository, October 2026)

The following data cannot be redistributed and are not included. The folders are kept so that replicators who obtain access can place the files where the code expects them.

- Data/Export_Panjive_Solar/, Data/PanjivaRaw_Import/, Data/Panjiva_Import/: shipment-level Panjiva / S&P Global Trade Intelligence data (commercial licence; requires a Panjiva subscription).
- Files derived from Panjiva or from the confidential GSO Vietnam Enterprise Survey (VES) and Customs data, e.g. Viet_SolarGVCImport_Rosenow&Mealy.csv, shipper_id.csv, shipper_link*.csv, shipper_year_link*.csv, Export_Direct_Outcome*.csv: removed because the underlying data are commercial or confidential. They are regenerated by Code/Data_Compilation_Main.R and the VES code once access to the source data is granted.
- gso.dta, import_firms.dta, export_firms.dta: confidential GSO Vietnam data (see README).
- AIPNET (apinet_solar_17.xlsx, Apinet_Score.xlsx) and Global Trade Alert (GTA_SUB.xlsx) source files: their terms do not allow redistribution / require approval. Download them from https://aipnet.io/ and https://globaltradealert.org/data-center. The derived files Data/robust/Rosenow&Mealy_Apinet_solar.csv and Data/robust/ActiveGTA.csv are included.

Public files listed in the README (BACI aggregate, UN/WITS product concordances, Rosenow & Mealy map, district concordance) can be downloaded from CEPII, WITS/UNSD and the World Bank Open Knowledge Repository, or requested from the authors.
