Hi

I am trying to merge two different datasets with panel data. One of them contains data about sub-saharan African countries and China's voting behaviour in UNGA from 2000-2014 (with the main variables being countryname and year and vote) and the other one contains data about China's foreign aid to countries in sub-saharan African countries from 2000-2014 (with the main variables being countryname and year and amount).

However, I am not sure how to merge these two dataset as they contain various amount of observations within the given year and countries - there are a lot more observations pr year and country in the UNGA dataset than in the one with foreign aid.

Thank you in advance!
