Peter at a later stage. Don’t forget Ian Morris’s helpful overview of the

Atlas Annotated Bibliography
Project: Put pages for this up on wsarch data web site. Have
someone go through wilkinson’s bib for
his workshop paper to look for maps. See "History of the World:
Every Year" territories of polities since
3150 BC with nice music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymI5Uv5cGU4&feature=em-share_video_user
War and battle coding project: Levin Welch is going to work on this. Loranow, Eckhardt, Wright, Sorokin, Dupuy, SESHAT, a global
geocoded list of battles and wars. Use the template that we have created
(uploaded on the Wsarch website). This procedure ensures that the analyst does
not receive significant results for a Granger-causal relationship due solely to
non-stationarity in the data plate for a war network data set. Focus first on areas and times for which we
already have trade network data. Get help from Thompson, Wilkinson and Cioffi.
Battles, conquests, sieges, arms races, alliances. Networks of enmity and
alliance. Thanks to gene for central asia sources. Victoria Hui is coding East
Asian polities and interstate wars. Look again at JS Lee to see if his wars
were really internal. See The Asian
Review of World Histories at http://www.thearwh.org/ cool stuff. Hiroko found Peter Brecke’s war
data set. David Kang sent us his article
and dataset on East Asian warfare from 1368 to 1841 CE.
Can we use the loranow article on Mesopotamia to code variations in the
level of warfare for our psa paper?
Trade data: Ciolek. Which are the good studies? He includes all the maps he
can find that show connections among nodes. Sakin is looking for ottoman trade
netwoks data. Be careful about whole system networks that show the links and
non-links among all nodes and ego networks that show the links to a particular
city or set of cities. Those are 2 different things. International historical

Capital Vol 1. p. 760 note 4,
the effects of rate of return on risktaking.:
Marx quotes T.J. Dunning, l.c., pp.35-36
”Capital is said by a Quarterly Reviewer to fly
turbulence and strife, and to be timid, which is very true; but this is very
incompletely stating the question. Capital eschews no profit, or very small
profit, jst as Nature was formerly said to abhor a vacuum. With adequate
profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 per cent will ensure its
employment anywhere; 20 percent certain will produce eagerness; 50 per cent
positive audacity; 100 per cent will make it ready to trample on all human
laws; 300 per cent and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a
risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged. If
turbulence and strife will bring a profit, it will freely encourage both.
Smuggling and the slave-trade have amply proved all that is here stated.”
(T.J. Dunning, loc cit, pp: 35-36.)
