Vintages Data

Source: R/data-vintages.R
gdp.Rd

A collection of real-time datasets.

Usage

gdp

Format

A tbl_pubdate vintages object in the long layout: a tibble carrying the class attribute c("tbl_pubdate", "tbl_vintage", "tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"), with quarterly observations and 4 variables:

time

Date of the observation

pub_date

Publication date of the vintage

value

Numeric, real GDP (seasonally adjusted)

id

Country code

Because it is a vintages object rather than a plain tibble, the generics print(), summary() and plot() work on it directly. See validate_vintages() for the data contract and tbl_vintage for the class hierarchy.

Details

  • Timeframe: Q1 1980 - Q4 2024
