decisions_net_ct: Decision-level network data by case type
In jfjelstul/euip: The European Union Infringement Procedure (EUIP) Dataset

Description Usage Format

This dataset includes multi-dimensional network data on infringement decisions. There is one dimension per case type (noncommunication vs nonconformity) per decision stage. Network data is similar to directed dyad-year data except that it only includes directed dyad-years with at least one decision with respect to each case type and stage. For every year, there is one node per department and one node per member state. Edges can only exist between a department and a member state. There is an edge between a department and a member state with respect to each case type and stage if and only if the department issued at least one decision against the member state during that year. The weight of the edge is the number of decisions that the department opened against the member state. There is one observation per department per member state per year per case type per decision stage (2002-2020), excluding directed dyad-years where the state was not a member of the EU, but only if the count of decisions is positive.

1	decisions_net_ct

A data frame with 11 variables:

key_id: numeric. An ID number that uniquely identifies each observation in the dataset.
year: numeric. The year the decision was issued by the Commission.
d1_layer_id: numeric. An ID number that uniquely identifies each layer of the network within the first dimension.
d1_layer: string. The layer of the network within the first dimension, which is type of case.
d2_layer_id: numeric. An ID number that uniquely identifies each layer of the network within the second dimension.
d2_layer: string. The layer of the network within the second dimension, which is the decision stage.
from_node_id: numeric. An ID number that uniquely identifies each node in the network that creates a link, which is always a Commission department.
from_node: string. The name of the Commission department that opened the infringement case.
to_node_id: numeric. An ID number that uniquely identifies each node in the network that receives a link, which is always a member state.
to_node: string. The name of the member state that the Commission opened the case against.
edge_weight: numeric. The weight of the edge, which is the number of decisions opened by the Commission.
