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.
