Interstate, CIVIL and extrastate wars, by nation year, when multiple wars then only consider largest (by deaths)
dropped Germany (ccode = 255) for lack of data, added missing cases for Czechoslovakia to match to cyear2 data
wbgdp gives federal republic data for Germany. unclear if Czech data refers to Czechoslovakia or only the Czech part.
Exceptions to averaging deaths over conflict years include Rwanda and Nagorno Karabagh.
while all the price and value data are updated to the country-specific numbers, I kept the rent figures unchanged - using the WB prices and before 1970, the BP prices. This is because the new country-specific prices were clearly not comparable with the old WB/BP prices: they sometimes produced negative figures, which I suspect are inaccurate.
type variable is from v4-2006 UCDP/PRIO for types 1, 3, and 4. Because I couldn't transfer the international conflicts over from the new version - since they didn't have COW codes attached - I instead used the international conflicts (type 2) from the old, prior version of the same dataset.
my conflict variables are defined slightly differently from UCDP/PRIO's, so the numbers may look a little different. Their list is by conflict, mine by country-year. For my at_dom_conflict and at_CW variables, for example, the maximum number is one - although sometimes countries have, for example, two CWs going on at once (e.g., India). Also, for them an international war is counted as a single conflict event; for me, since each party is at war, it counts as two or more.
the oil/gas data for 2002-05 does not include small producers; the data are drawn from BP, and they don't report these smaller amounts.
population data are not comparable across the two datasets; hence a weird change from 1959 to 1960, and similarly, in all figures that are calculated on a per capita basis (e.g., oil_gas_rent/valuePOP)
