Expresses tidy data from the API in dollars of a reference year
Source:R/ots_gdp_deflator_adjustment.R
ots_gdp_deflator_adjustment.Rd
Uses GDP deflator records from The World Bank to convert trade records and express them in dollars of the same year. The records are internally subsetted to World's values, because country specific levels would largely re-scale observations for reporters that reflect unstable macroeconomic policies.
Arguments
- trade_data
A tibble obtained by using ots_create_tidy_data. Default set to
NULL
.- reference_year
Year contained within the years specified in api.tradestatistics.io/year_range (e.g.
2010
). Default set toNULL
.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
# The next example can take more than 5 seconds to compute,
# so this is shown without evaluation according to CRAN rules
# Convert dollars of 2010 to dollars of 2000
d <- ots_create_tidy_data(years = 2010, reporters = "chl", partners = "chn")
ots_gdp_deflator_adjustment(trade_data = d, reference_year = 2000)
