add_cow_majors: Add Correlates of War major power information to a dyad-year or state-year data frame

Description

add_cow_majors() allows you to add Correlates of War major power variables to a dyad-year or state-year data frame.

Usage

add_cow_majors(data)

Arguments

data

a dyad-year data frame (either "directed" or "non-directed") or a state-year data frame.

Value

add_cow_majors() takes a dyad-year data frame or state-year data frame and adds information about major power status for the given state or dyad in that year. If the data are dyad-year, the function returns two columns for whether the first state (i.e. ccode1) or the second state (i.e. ccode2) are major powers in the given year, according to the Correlates of War. 1 = is a major power. 0 = is not a major power. If the data are state-year, the functions returns just one column (cowmaj) for whether the state was a major power in a given dyad-year.

Details

The function leans on attributes of the data that are provided by the create_dyadyear() or create_stateyear() function. Make sure that function (or data created by that function) appear at the top of the proverbial pipe.
