许多经济数据来源在任何给定的时间点只覆盖有限的一组州。某些国家在特定时期内的数据经常系统性缺失。在冲突研究中，往往无法获得卷入冲突的国家的经济数据，从而削弱了推断经济和政治互动之间联系的能力。例如，在贸易和冲突研究中，如果仅仅使用现有数据，而忽略了经济变量数据缺失的观察结果，就会将柏林危机、朝鲜战争、古巴导弹危机和海湾战争等关键冲突排除在样本之外。提出了一套程序，以创建额外的估计，以弥补国内生产总值，人口和双边贸易流量的数据的覆盖范围的一些问题。
Many sources of economic data cover only a limited set of states at any given point in time. Data are often systematically missing for some states over certain time periods. In the context of conflict studies, economic data are frequently unavailable for states involved in conflicts, undermining the ability to draw inferences of linkages between economic and political interactions. For example, simply using available data in a study of trade and conflict and disregarding observations with missing data on economic variables excludes key conflicts such as the Berlin crisis, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Gulf War from the sample. A set of procedures are presented to create additional estimates to remedy some of the coverage problems for data on gross domestic product, population, and bilateral trade flows.
