#' Drivers of China's Peace Engagement in Conflict-affected Countries
#'
#' A data set on the correlates of Chinese peace engagement in conflict-affected
#'  countries.
#'
#' @format A data frame with 884 observations on the following 13 variables.
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{country}}{a character vector for an English country name of the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{year}}{a numeric vector for the year}
#' \item{\code{iso3c}}{a three-character ISO code of the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{region}}{a character vector for the region of the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{chn_oda}}{a numeric vector for the amount of Chinese ODA in the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{n_chnproj}}{a numeric vector for the number of Chinese ODA projects in the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{other_oda}}{a numeric vector for the amount of ODA from other sources for the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{gdppc}}{a numeric vector for GDP per capita of the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{tnrr}}{a numeric vector for total natural resource rents in the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{chn_unvs}}{a numeric vector for the similarity in voting with China in the UN General Assembly}
#' \item{\code{fdi_stock}}{a numeric vector for Chinese FDI stock in the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{bdp100k}}{a numeric vector for battle-deaths in the conflict-affected country}
#' \item{\code{logotherodadiff1y}}{a numeric vector for the logged and lagged difference in Chinese ODA and ODA from other sources}
#' }
#'
#' @details The `logotherodadiff1y` column comes as is from the replication data
#' set. It seems to make use of ODA information prior to the start of the panel
#' that is not available in their replication data. You could recreate it by
#' taking a log-transformation of the `other_oda` column and subtracting the
#' first-order lag from the second-order lag.
#'
#' I will defer to the user to do their own log transformations of these data
#' for the cause of replication. Read the supporting article for more information.
