Add Correlates of War major power information to a data frame

add_cow_majors()
allows you to add Correlates of War major power variables
to a dyad-year, leader-year, leader dyad-year, or state-year data frame.
Value
add_cow_majors()
takes a data frame and adds information
about major power status for the given state or dyad in that year. If the
data are dyad-year (or leader 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 (or leader-year), the functions
returns just one column (cowmaj
) for whether the
state was a major power in a given state-year.
Details
Be mindful that the data are fundamentally state-year and that extensions to leader-level data should be understood as approximations for leaders in a given state-year.
