Extract the Joint Membership of a pair of Countries across IGOs.
Source:R/igo_dyadic.R
igo_dyadic.Rd
Dyadic version of the data. The unit of observation is a dyad of countries. It provides a summary of the joint memberships of two IGOs over time.

Arguments
- country1
A single state, used as a base of comparison. It could be any valid name or code of a state as specified on states2016.
- country2
A state of vector of states to be compared with
country1
.- year
Year to be assessed, an integer or an array of year.
- ioname
Optional.
ioname
or vector ofioname
corresponding to the IGOs to be assessed. IfNULL
(the default), all IGOs would be extracted. See codes onigo_search()
.
Value
A coded data frame representing the years and country dyad (rows) and the IGOs selected (columns). See Details
Details
This function tries to replicate the information contained in the original
file distributed by The Correlates of War Project
(dyadic_format3.dta
). That file is not included in this package due
to its size.
The result is a data frame containing the common years of the states
selected via country1, country2, year
by rows.
An additional column dyadid
, computed as (1000*ccode1)+ccode2
is provided in order to identify relationships.
For each IGO selected via ioname
(or all if the default
option has been used) a column (using lowercase ioname
as
identifier) is provided with the following code system:
Category | Numerical Value |
No Joint Membership | 0 |
Joint Full Membership | 1 |
Missing data | -9 |
State Not System Member | -1 |
If one state in an IGO is a full member but the other is an associate member or observer, that IGO is not coded as a joint membership.
Differences with the original dataset
There are some differences on the results provided by this function and the original dataset on some IGOs regarding the "Missing Data" (-9) and "State Not System Member" (-1). However it is not clear how to fully replicate those values.
