This is replication data for James D. Fearon, Primary Commodity Exports and Civil War, Journal of Conflict Resolution, August 2005. Here are some notes on variable definitions: (1) The prefix i (as in isxp ) indicates an interpolated version of a variable not coded for all years in the original CH data set on which this is all based (e.g., sxp was coded at five year intervals). In some cases, however, such as ietdom or igeogia, there is virtually no temporal variation in the original variable so interpolation means simply repeating the given value into all years (much as in the CH original data, which is done at 5 year intervals). (2) l as a prefix means logged. (3) l as a suffix means lagged one year. For lagged variables the first year in the series is retained.

Singapore and Korea joined in the 1983-1987 interval, but area counted only 1987 on when I have verified their status.
the original Zanardi Excel file makes a distinction between a blank field (meaning a country did not have an AD law at that time) and a dot (no information available for that year). To preserve this distinction, Excel dots were recoded into -11 ; Excel blanks were recoded by Stata as dots. In addition, -99 means that a given state is an E.U. member and its investigations are included in the European Community data.
Zanardi's source was GATT/WTO notifications, but also journalistic and gov't official reports, esp. for some key non-members.
Total number of anti-dumping investigations initiated in year t. Source: Zanardi. Not just those vs US. Not ongoing, but initiated. Not measures, but all investigations.
