io-data-analysis

separate

Use when executing and reporting the empirical analysis (or the formal-model results) for an International Organization (IO) manuscript so it survives expert double-blind IR review and IO's pre-publication verification. The IO editorial staff re-run quantitative analyses and check formal proofs before final acceptance, and IR data raise distinctive estimation problems (dyadic dependence, selection into treaties/alliances/conflict, gravity structure). Guides analysis and reporting; it does not fabricate results.

When to use

• Estimating the main international effect and supporting analyses
• Writing the results section
• Addressing referee requests for robustness, heterogeneity, or alternative estimators
• Deriving and presenting formal model results and comparative statics
• Separating preregistered from exploratory analyses
• Handling IR-specific estimation problems like dyadic dependence and selection
• Ensuring verification-readiness with reproducible scripts and pinned toolchains

When not to use

• Fabricating results
• Making identification choices
