Variable descriptions

country_name

Standardized country name. This is the same across all datasets in this package, so you can always join them by country_name and year. Character with 215 distinct values. Most common: Afghanistan (216), Denmark (216), Iran (Persia) (216), Morocco (216), Nepal (216), Oman (275), Russia (Soviet Union) (216), Thailand (216), Turkey (Ottoman Empire) (216), United Kingdom (216), United States of America (216). NAs = 0.

GWn

Gleditsch-Ward numeric country code. See Gleditsch and Ward (1999). Numeric. Max = 990, min = 2, distinct = 215, mean = 436.329, sd = 254.995, NAs = 0.

year

Year. Numeric. Max = 2015, min = 1741, distinct = 275, mean = 1940.34, sd = 53.959, NAs = 0.

in_system

Whether the country-year is in the Gleditsch-Ward system of states. See Gleditsch and Ward (1999). Logical. TRUE = 17177, FALSE = 5420, NAs = 0.

z1

Estimated index. Lower values indicate more personalism, so I usually invert it. Numeric. Max = 2.514, min = -2.461, distinct = 4368, mean = -0.004, sd = 0.891, NAs = 0.

se.z1

Standard error of the estimate. Numeric. Max = 0.954, min = 0.241, distinct = 4368, mean = 0.42, sd = 0.17, NAs = 0.

pct975

Upper bound of the 95% confidence interval. Numeric. Max = 3.467, min = -1.497, distinct = 4368, mean = 0.819, sd = 0.929, NAs = 0.

pct025

Lower bound of the 95% confidence interval. Numeric. Max = 1.561, min = -3.424, distinct = 4368, mean = -0.828, sd = 0.974, NAs = 0.
