An abbreviated version of the international fisheries agreements dataset, including only bilateral agreements, fewer variables, and ranging only between 1960 and 1970 inclusive. This data set is only meant for testing, and not for inference. It provides an example of an undirected, weighted (by integer/increment) network, with composition change and both monadic and dyadic covariates. Monadic variables include the dates states gain or lose sovereign status, their polity score, and their GDP. Dyadic variables include bilateral fisheries agreements between states, and states' contiguity with one another over time.

The data includes several dataframes: states (154 rows, 4 columns, monadic), sovchanges (62 rows, 3 columns, monadic), regchanges (145 rows, 3 columns, monadic), gdpchanges (979 rows, 3 columns, monadic), bilatchanges (77 rows, 4 columns, dyadic), contigchanges (139 rows, 4 columns, dyadic). See below for variables and formats.
