This study contains data on the transfer of arms
to 52 developing nations in the period 1945-1968. The Arms Transfers
data (Part 1) provide information on donor and recipient, date and
site of transfer, quantity, system classification (e.g., aircraft,
helicopters, missiles, artilleries, small arms, or naval systems), and
date production began and ended. The Weapons Systems data (Part 2)
contain detailed coded information about each weapons system.

This data collection contains the observed characteristics
of 158 diverse political parties operating in 53 countries between
1950 and 1962. The variables consist of both substantive coding of
party characteristics and data quality measures. A base of 111
variables place party characteristics in a conceptual framework
of 11 categories: institutionalization, governmental status, social
attraction, social concentration, social reflection, issue
orientation, goal orientation, autonomy, degree of organization,
centralization of power, coherence, and involvement. Every variable
that was coded was selected because of its relevance to a concept in
the framework. The remaining variables are derived measures of the
quality of those data.

This data collection contains information gathered in five
annual surveys that assessed the degree of freedom in 218 nations and
dependencies from 1972-1976. The study was carried out under the
auspices of Freedom House, New York City. The number of cases with
data varies from year to year, due to annexation, amalgamation, or the
addition of further territories to the roster. The data include
assessments of the political and civil rights of the general
population (using a seven-point scale, i.e., 1, most freedom, to 7,
least freedom), an overall freedom rating for the country (using a
three-point scale, i.e, free, partly free, and not free), and the
direction in which this rating appeared to be moving. Surveys after
1972 have added variables that indicate whether a change in the
evaluation since the previous survey was due to internal events in the
country or to new information about existing conditions. Before 1973,
only the presence or absence of change is noted. Thereafter, an
increase in the number of coding categories enables the direction of
the change to be recorded. The 1976 data include four additional
variables applicable to 142 cases and provide information about the
system of government and the economy of most of the nations
studied. The rationale used in assigning the seven categories on the
continuum of most to least freedom can be found in Appendix III of the
codebook, including which civil and political rights were considered
critical in order for a nation to garner each rating.

This study contains data on conflict behavior among a
selected sample of 1,557 nation dyads in the years 1950, 1955,
1960, 1963, and 1965. Originally collected by the Dimensionality
of Nations (DON) Project at the University of Hawaii, these data
provide information on the behavioral dimensions of the interactions
between the nations in the dyads. The dyads represent all of the
paired relationships for 113 nations. The conflict variables are
coded for actor and target, date of conflict, and frequencies of
occurrence. The violent action variable is coded only for the
presence or absence of violent conflicts. Conflictual interactions
are described through variables such as warning or defensive acts,
number of wars, negative behavior, severance or suspension of
diplomatic relations, expulsion or recall of diplomats, boycott
of another country or embargo on commerce with another country,
aid to subversive or rebellious groups of another country,
negative communication, accusations, protests, unofficial acts
of violence, and attacks on embassy of one nation by the other.
Included also is one record each year for all non-conflict dyads.
The variables are arranged by year, within year by actor and

The data for this study were collected to provide
information on patterns of domestic conflict behavior in 111
independent countries for the years 1919-1966. The variables record
the occurrence of riots, anti-government demonstrations, purges,
major government crises, strikes, coups, revolutions, assassinations,
and guerrilla war. Data exist for the full 42 years for 52 of the
countries, but for the other 59 countries data exist for less than
42 years. Data may be obtained in either of two formats: nations as
cases or nation/years as cases. In the first format one case would
be "Canada" and possible variables would be "riots-1919," etc.

ECIN Replication Package for "Measurement Errors in Popular Night Lights Data May Bias Estimated Impacts of Economic Sanctions: Evidence from Closing the Kaesong Industrial Zone" 
Gibson, John; Kim, Bonggeun; Boe-Gibson, Geua

Gibson, John; Kim, Bonggeun; Boe-Gibson, Geua
This project evaluates economic impacts of the closure of the Kaesong Industrial Zone in North Korea in February 2016. This industrial zone employed over 50,000 North Korean workers in factories owned by South Korean companies, and all operations were stopped to sanction North Korea for nuclear tests. We use DMSP and VIIRS night lights data in a difference-in-difference framework, based on 2012-19 annual composites and using zonal statistics for the sum of lights mostly at the second sub-national level (n=186 spatial units) but also at the first sub-national level (13 provinces or centrally controlled municipalities). The measurement error properties of the DMSP data are also examined by comparison with the more accurate VIIRS data.

Hopple, Gerald W.; Wilkenfeld, Jonathan; Rossa, Paul J.
The study consists of data for over 9,000 events
collected from The New York Times Index and, in some cases, The New
York Times itself. The events occurred during four international
crises: the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, December 1941, the German
invasion of the Soviet Union, June 1941, the outbreak of the Korean
War, June 1950, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, October 1962. The data
were collected for the principal actors in each crisis and span a
period from 18 months prior to the crisis to one month subsequent to
the actual crisis. Five primary variables are coded for the data: date
of occurrence, initiator and recipient of the event, geographical area,
and a classification code based on the World Event/Interaction Survey (WEIS)
coding scheme.

This collection was created by the United Nations from
information collected from individual countries regarding their
industrial production. The collection contains, for each reporting
country, data on the type and amount of industrial production for the
years 1963-1979. There are statistics on production for various
industries including mining, manufacturing, construction, financing,
and community and personal services. Production quantities are
indicated in the basic units of that particular industry (e.g.,
number, man-hours, kilowatt hours, etc.). The data are organized by
country, industry, and year, and thus, multiple country records may
exist for each industry depending on the data years available. Part 1
contains information for the years 1967-1979, and Part 2 contains data
for the years 1963-1966 (with some instances of overlapping data in
the files). The data collected for these files was used as the master
file input for the YEARBOOK OF INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS, VOLUME 1. The

Gurr, Ted Robert; Gurr, Erika
Gurr, Ted Robert; Gurr, Erika
This data collection consists of coded descriptions
of the political structures of 144 countries worldwide (428 polities)
in the period 1800-1971. One of four distinct but related datasets
developed by Robert Gurr and his associates at Princeton University
and Northwestern University to test hypotheses about the causes of
conflict within contemporary nations and the correlates of
institutional change, this study probes why some political
institutions perform well and persist in response to challenges and
crises while others change abruptly. Operational conceptualization
of the study is provided with the description of salient
characteristics of political systems in terms of the dimensions
of authority patterns. Included are indicators of dimensions of
authority, such as the openness of recruitment, decision constraints,
participation, directiveness, and complexity, the degree to which
each polity was autocratic, democratic, and anocratic, and the
dichotomous indicator of coherence of a polity as consistently
democratic. Additional data provide information on the circumstances
of the birth and death of a polity, including the character of the
polity and reasons for its termination. Three related studies focus
on civil conflicts in polities: CONFLICT AND SOCIETY (ICPSR 7452),
CIVIL STRIFE EVENTS, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531), and CIVIL STRIFE CONFLICT
MAGNITUDES, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485).

Coplin, William; O'Leary, Michael; Shapiro, Howard
This data collection is composed of four files: one World
Event Interaction Survey file (Part 1), and three data values files
including an Aggregate Data Values file (Part 2), a Treaty Data
Values Issue Position file (Part 3), and an Event Data Values
Issue Position File (Part 4). The datasets were created as part
of the PRINCE Project of the International Relations Program of
Syracuse University and are designed to provide estimates for the
values of the principal variables used in the model underlying
PRINCE, a programmed international computer environment, but may
be used for other research and teaching purposes. Variables in
these files pertain to issue positions, influence attempts, power,
affect, and economic, diplomatic, and social transactions. The
World Event Interaction Survey file (Part 1) contains information
on the type, direction, and effect of transaction, the type and
value of issue acts, geographic location, and topic and value of
expressions of affect. A total of 5,593 acts coded for 231 dyads
(directional) include acts of the United States toward 106 nations,
acts of 104 nations toward the United States, acts among the
members of 19 directional dyads, and acts from Israel to Egypt
and Egypt to Israel, in the period 1966-1969. The Aggregate
Data Values file (Part 2) contains measurements of power and
transaction levels for the 107 nations in Part 1. Data were
collected for 1967 for most of the variables in this file.
Information is provided on gross national product (GNP), population
estimates, military expenditures, United States' and the nations'
diplomats, the nations' exports to and imports from the United
States, United States' tourists to and from the nations, the number
of United States' students in the nations and the number of students

The WEIS Project dataset is a record of the flow of action
and response between countries (as well as non-governmental actors,
e.g., NATO) reflected in public events reported daily in the New York
Times from January 1966 through December 1978. The WEIS Project began
under the direction of Charles McClelland at the University of
Southern California as a research project on international system
characteristics and processes. The unit of analysis in the dataset is
the event/interaction, referring to words and deeds communicated
between nations, such as threats of military force. Each
event/interaction is a daily report of an international event. There
are 98,043 events included in this dataset. Coded for each event are
the actor, target, date, action category, and arena. Also provided are
brief textual descriptions for each event.

events occurring in particular periods. For example, the
categories of bombing, ambush, raid, arrest, release of the
arrested, imposition of martial law or curfew, and relaxation
of martial law or curfew were added in 1978. The Annual
Events Data file consists of summations of the occurrences
of each type of event within each country on a year-to-year
basis from 1948 to 1977. The annual totals are given for the
same countries as in the daily file, with the exception of
