while all the price and value data are updated to the country-specific numbers, I kept the rent figures unchanged - using the WB prices and before 1970, the BP prices. This is because the new country-specific prices were clearly not comparable with the old WB/BP prices: they sometimes produced negative figures, which I suspect are inaccurate.
type variable is from v4-2006 UCDP/PRIO for types 1, 3, and 4. Because I couldn't transfer the international conflicts over from the new version - since they didn't have COW codes attached - I instead used the international conflicts (type 2) from the old, prior version of the same dataset.
my conflict variables are defined slightly differently from UCDP/PRIO's, so the numbers may look a little different. Their list is by conflict, mine by country-year. For my at_dom_conflict and at_CW variables, for example, the maximum number is one - although sometimes countries have, for example, two CWs going on at once (e.g., India). Also, for them an international war is counted as a single conflict event; for me, since each party is at war, it counts as two or more.
the oil/gas data for 2002-05 does not include small producers; the data are drawn from BP, and they don't report these smaller amounts.
population data are not comparable across the two datasets; hence a weird change from 1959 to 1960, and similarly, in all figures that are calculated on a per capita basis (e.g., oil_gas_rent/valuePOP)
