Title
The Battle Deaths Dataset.
Summary
The Battle Deaths Dataset was compiled by Bethany Lacina and Nils Petter Gleditsch. The data are packaged in different ways in this work: as 1 Excel file for use with UCDP/PRIO Armed Conflicts Dataset 1946-2005 (Gleditsch et al., 2002; Harbom and Wallensteen, 2005); as 9 Excel files for use with the Correlates of War (COW) data on wars 1900-1997 (Sarkees, 2000); as 2 Excel files for use with data on civil wars 1945-1999 compiled by Fearon and Laitin (2001); and as 1 excel file with yearly total battle deaths. A codebook and documentation on coding decisions for the different packages of the data are also included as PDFs. While the website states that there is a PDF file with version history and errata, that PDF is missing.
