#' Decision-level time-series data by case type
#' 
#' This dataset includes aggregated data on the number of decisions per stage
#' of the infringement procedure per year (time-series data) broken down by
#' case type (nonommunication vs nonconformity). There is one observation per
#' year per decision stage per case type (2002-2020).
#' 
#' @format A data frame with 7 variables:
#' \describe{
#' \item{key_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies each
#' observation in the dataset. }
#' \item{year}{\code{numeric}. The year the decision was issued by the
#' Commission.}
#' \item{case_type_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies
#' each type of state aid cases. Coded \code{1} for noncommunication cases,
#' which are cases that relate to a member state failing to notify the
#' Commission that it has transposed a directive by the stated deadline. Coded
#' \code{2} for nonconformity cases, which are cases that relate to a member
#' state incorrectly transposing a directive. }
#' \item{case_type}{\code{string}. The type of the infringement case. There
#' are two types of cases. Coded \code{noncommunication} for cases that relate
#' to a member state failing to notify the Commission that it has transposed a
#' directive by the stated deadline. Coded \code{nonconformity} for cases that
#' relate to a member state incorrectly transposing a directive. }
#' \item{decision_stage_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely
#' identifies each decision stage in the infringement procedure. Coded
#' \code{1} for letters of formal notice under Article 258 of the Treaty on
#' the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), coded \code{2} for reasoned
#' opinions under Article 258, coded \code{3} for referrals to the Court under
#' Article 258, coded \code{4} for letters of formal notice under Article 260,
#' coded \code{5} for reasoned opinions under Article 260, and coded \code{6}
#' for referrals to the Court under Article 262}
#' \item{decision_stage}{\code{string}. The decision stage of the infringement
#' procedure. Possible values include: \code{Letter of formal notice (Article
#' 258)}, \code{Reasoned opinion (Article 259)}, \code{Referral to the Court
#' (Article 258)}, \code{Letter of formal notice (Article 260)},
#' \code{Reasoned opinion (Article 260)}, and \code{Referral to the Court
#' (Article 260)}. }
#' \item{count_cases}{\code{numeric}. A count of the number of cases opened by
#' the Commission at this level of aggregation.}
