The file data-ascii.txt contains the data in ASCII format. The file mb-prog.do is a STATA do file to replicate the results of the paper. Note that ranktest, ivreg2, and xtivreg2 must be installed. Use "ssc install name" to install each of these. There are 1713 observations on the following 15 variables: country country name year year lgdp log gdp per capita, PWT 6.2 lcru_l log of rainfall, Mitchell et al. 2003 lcru_l_sq lcru_l squared linvest log investment per capita, PWT 6.2 loda log of net official development aid, WDI (2009) polity2 Polity2 score, Polity IV database war civil war indicator variable, PRIO/UPSALLA drought Drought Indicator, Em-DAT (2009) balanced indicator variable for balanced sample balanced_60 indicator variable for balanced sample starting in 1960 index_g_l change of the log of the commodity price index, see paper outlier Hadi outlier (p=.05) loda_gdp log of the share of oda in gdp, WDI (2009) The two files just described are zipped in the file mb-files.zip.
