The two states involved in a conflict indicated by the start and end of the conflict period.

For any pair of country we summed up the aid commitment in a given year. Thus, countries cannot have multiple donation links per year, although several donations for different projects were interchanged. The data is organized as directed dyad-years – each country could potentially donate to each other country every year, however, most countries never donate in reality. We are dealing with a very specific network structure here: Donors hardly ever appear on the receiving side; only 22 do so. Even though there could be reciprocity in tie formation, we assume that the recipients have relatively little agency when it comes to establishing a donation link, thus the power is highly skewed and shows a hierarchical order.
