This is replication data for James D. Fearon, Primary Commodity Exports and Civil War, Journal of Conflict Resolution, August 2005. Here are some notes on variable definitions: (1) The prefix i (as in isxp ) indicates an interpolated version of a variable not coded for all years in the original CH data set on which this is all based (e.g., sxp was coded at five year intervals). In some cases, however, such as ietdom or igeogia, there is virtually no temporal variation in the original variable so interpolation means simply repeating the given value into all years (much as in the CH original data, which is done at 5 year intervals). (2) l as a prefix means logged. (3) l as a suffix means lagged one year. For lagged variables the first year in the series is retained.
All interaction terms are from centered component variables
For c variable, pre-1973 values are set 1973 value if missing
Exceptions to averaging deaths over conflict years include Rwanda and Nagorno Karabagh.
wbgdp gives federal republic data for Germany. unclear if Czech data refers to Czechoslovakia or only the Czech part.
dropped Germany (ccode = 255) for lack of data, added missing cases for Czechoslovakia to match to cyear2 data
Interstate, CIVIL and extrastate wars, by nation year, when multiple wars then only consider largest (by deaths)
