I realize the Kuwaiti data is in flux... what do you want to do? Latest data, maybe? I will do that for the time being
Cuba is probably ok to code mulatto and white together since division between black and white/mulatto is much more pronounced than the line between white and mestizo

in France taking the North African countries separately every one of them loses out to the share of immigrants from Portugal. But taking them together, they beat Portugal. I think religion is best here because not all are Arabs: substantial number of Turks. Let me know if that doesn't seem right.

This is replication data for James D. Fearon, Primary Commodity Exports and Civil War, Journal of Conflict Resolution, August 2005. Here are some notes on variable definitions: (1) The prefix i (as in isxp ) indicates an interpolated version of a variable not coded for all years in the original CH data set on which this is all based (e.g., sxp was coded at five year intervals). In some cases, however, such as ietdom or igeogia, there is virtually no temporal variation in the original variable so interpolation means simply repeating the given value into all years (much as in the CH original data, which is done at 5 year intervals). (2) l as a prefix means logged. (3) l as a suffix means lagged one year. For lagged variables the first year in the series is retained.
