This data set contains the data necessary to replicate Table 1 in James D. Fearon and David D. Laitin, Ethnicity,Insurgency, and Civil War, _American Political Science Review_ 97, 1 (February 2003):75-90. A few additional variables are included relevant to claims made in the paper. See Fearon and Laitin, Additional Tables for Ethnicity, Insurgency, and Civil War, at http://www.stanford.edu/group/ethnic/ for more information on the data contained here.
_tv notes the variable time varies . Thus the exit variable records the eventual manner of losing office, whereas exit_tv records it only for the leader actually lost office.

Archigos is a collaborative effort of Hein Goemans (University of Rochester), Kristian Skrede Gleditsch (University of Essex (UK)) and Giacomo Chiozza (University of California, Berkeley). This data set contains time-varying co-variates and is built on Archigos 2.5; this version has yearly records for each leader. The unit of observation is the leader-year, or, in case the leader serves less than a full year, leader-spell-in-one-year.
