Replication Data for: Multiple Measurements, Elusive Agreement, and Unstable Outcomes in the Study of Regime Change

The replication data contain all files necessary to replicate the empirical analyses and robustness checks presented in "Multiple Measurements, Elusive Agreement, and Unstable Outcomes in the Study of Regime Change" (Hans Lueders & Ellen Lust): (1) R code file (FH_Polity permutations.R) that computes the number of permutations of Freedom House and Polity subscores, plus the Freedom House (FH_subscores_all years.csv) and Polity data (politydata.csv) required to compute the number of permutations that occur. (2) The regime type dataset used to code regime change (LuedersLust2017_regimetypedata.dta). (3) A STATA do-file that creates indicators of regime change and conducts all analyses reported in the paper and appendix (LuedersLust2017_replication.do). (4) A STATA do-file that conducts the robustness checks of nine published studies of regime change (LuedersLust2017_replication_robustnesschecks.do). (5) The replication data of these nine studies, to which we added the regime change indicators. We obtained permission from the authors of all studies to share their data (nine .dta files).
