Notes: See the paper for details of the data and their sources. Also, note that if you are trying to replicate the results of the paper, please remember that the paper reports standardized “beta” coefficients. Industry-level data on the importance of relationship-specific investments (i.e. contract intensity)
1.) Data for 1997 disaggregated according to the BEA’s 1997 I-O industry classification (based on 6-digit NAICS) [Stata File]
2.) Data for 1997 disaggregated according to 3-digit ISIC Rev. 2 classification [Stata File]
I have also constructed contract intensity measures for benchmark years (72, 77, 82, 87, 92) between 1963 and 1997. These are available here [Zipped Folder].
