- *** Preliminaries
-
- set width = 80.
-
-
- * Importing portable data files, running frequencies.
-
- import file = "../data/sp9905cw.export".
-
- display dictionary.
-
- freq all.
-
- execute.
-
-
- *** Creating new variables
-
- compute yrbeg1 = yrbeg1 + 1000.
- compute yrbeg2 = yrbeg2 + 1000.
- compute yrbeg3 = yrbeg3 + 1000.
-
- compute yrend1 = yrend1 + 1000.
- compute yrend2 = yrend2 + 1000.
- compute yrend3 = yrend3 + 1000.
-
-
- * here's how we could make sure that wars with
- * multiple stops / starts have the last ending year:
-
- * compute yrend1 = yrend2 if (yrend2 > yrend1).
- * compute yrend1 = yrend3 if (yrend3 > yrend1).
-
-
- * creating civil / international dummies
-
- compute civil = 1.
- compute intl = 0.
-
- formats civil (F8.0).
- formats intl (F8.0).
-
- add value labels civil intl
-
- 0 "international war "
- 1 "civil war ".
-
-
- * creating 19th, 20th century dummies
-
- compute year = yrbeg1.
-
- recode year
-
- (1800 thru 1899 = 19)
- (1900 thru 1999 = 20)
-
- into century.
-
- recode century
-
- (19 = 1) (20 = 0)
-
- into ninetnth.
-
- recode century
-
- (19 = 0) (20 = 1)
-
- into twntieth.
-
- add value labels ninetnth twntieth
-
- 0 "0 nineteenth century "
- 1 "1 twentieth century ".
-
-
- formats year (F8.0).
- formats century (F8.0).
- formats ninetnth (F8.0).
- formats twntieth (F8.0).
-
-
- * changing the case of the value labels in the variable warname.
-
- compute warnumb = warnum.
-
- recode warnumb
-
- (601 = "Spain (1821-1823)" )
- (602 = "Two Sicilies (1820-1821) I " )

- (634 = "Austria-Hungary (1848)" )
- (636 = "France [Royalists] (1851)" )
-
- into warname.
-
-
- * creating wwI, wwII, worldwar dummy variables
-
- recode warnumb
-
- (106 = 1) (else = 0)
-
- into wwI.
-
- recode warnumb
-
- (139 = 1) (else = 0)
-
- into wwII.
-
- recode warnumb
-

-
- into worldwar.
-
- formats wwI (F8.0).
- formats wwII (F8.0).
- formats worldwar (F8.0).
-
- variable labels wwI "World War One dummy variable ".
- variable labels wwII "World War Two dummy variable ".
- variable labels worldwar "World War either dummy variable".

- *** Renaming variables
- *
- * note: even thought the codebook says that the name of the variable
- * for population is POP, it is actually TOTPOP.
- *
-
- rename variables
-
- (duration = durmnth )
- (battdea = dead )
- (numarmy = military )
- (totpop = populatn ).
-
-
- * note: 10 cases have durations of zero, which does not make sense.
- * I'm changing them to have at least a one-month duration.
-
- recode durmnth (0 = 1).
-
- * creating duration by year variable
-
- compute duryear = durmnth / 12.
-
-
- * creating a second duryear variable that will only be attached to the
- * starting year of the war
-
- compute duryear1 = duryear.
-
-
- * changing scale of population measures
-
- compute dead = dead * 1 .
- compute military = military * 1000 .
- compute populatn = populatn * 1000 .
-
-
- * creating a second population, military variable that will only be attached
- * to the starting year of the war
-
- compute popnorig = populatn.
- compute miltary2 = military.
-
- formats populatn (F8.0).
