Details
Exact coding issues/peculiarities are best addressed by reading the reference article. To maximally reproduce the article's analyses, the user will need to create some variables. The information is here, but you'll need to create a variable for dyadic trade (and as a percentage of the subject's GDP), GDP-adjusted imports, a means to filter out Israel from the analysis, and some of the information reported in Table 1. However, I think this is a learning experience for students.
