### Note

The Correlates of War (cow) and Polity 4 (p4) project produce codes in country year format. Some countries go through political transitions that justify changing codes over time. When building a purely cross-sectional conversion dictionary, this forces us to make arbitrary choices with respect to some entities (e.g., Western Germany, Vietnam, Serbia). 'countrycode' includes a reconciled dataset in panel format: 'countrycode::countrycode_panel'. Instead of converting code, we recommend that users dealing with panel data "left-merge" their data into this panel dictionary.
