Measures of ethnic polarization and fractionalization, weighted by phylogenetic linguistic difference. Data on groups from Fearon (2003).

ELF indices (based on ANM), ethnic and linguistic fractionalization indices from Fearon (2003), and population share of second-largest religious and ethnic groups in each country, as well as number of distinct languages spoken in a country. Groups enumerated; 161 countries.

Different measures of ethnic, ethnolinguistic fractionalization, as well as largest and second-largest groups in a territory. Also includes measure of ethnic group fractionalization weighted by language-family resemblance. Groups listed.

Measures of fractionalization(Fearon and Laitin 2003), various codings of Cederman and Girardin (2007) index, and a measure of whether or not a country's head of state was from a minority ethnic group.

Somatic and genetic distances between populations of countries.

Database of five dichotomous indicators regarding whether or not a state makes use of different categories related to ethnicity (e.g. religion, ethnic identification) over time. Yearly data for six countries, 1900 - 2011.

Relevant political and cultural data on 283 ethnic groups perceived to be at risk of involvement in a political conflict.

Database of concentration of different ethnic and religious groups at the country level. Project will eventually include data regarding ascriptive differences between groups (e.g. sensory-based traits, attitudes) and country-specific traits that could affect ethnic relations. Yearly data for 156 countries (those with a population over 500,000 in 2004) 1946 - present.

Ethnolinguistic fractionalization and composite social diversity indices (a weighted index of race, ethnic, linguistic and religious affiliation)
