Have you seen the GitHub Project [Replicating Mankiw, Romer and Weil 1992](https://github.com/HariharanJayashankar/mrw1992)? It seems to have both the data and a replication of the original results.

For the curious, the paper is [A Contribution to the Empirics of Economic Growth](https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/107/2/407/1838296).
