In PABalland/EconGeo: Computing Key Indicators of the Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities

Generate a data frame of industrial growth in regions from multiple regions - industries matrices (same matrix composition for the different periods)

Description

This function generates a data frame of industrial growth in regions from multiple regions - industries matrices (same matrix composition for the different periods). In this function, the maximum number of periods is limited to 20.

Usage

growth.list(mat1, mat2, mat3, mat4, mat5, mat6, mat7, mat8, mat9, mat10, mat11,
  mat12, mat13, mat14, mat15, mat16, mat17, mat18, mat19, mat20)

Arguments

mat1	An incidence matrix with regions in rows and industries in columns (period 1 - mandatory)
mat2	An incidence matrix with regions in rows and industries in columns (period 2 - mandatory)
mat...	An incidence matrix with regions in rows and industries in columns (period ... - optional)

Examples

## generate a first region - industry matrix with full count (period 1)
set.seed(31)
mat1 <- matrix(sample(0:10,20,replace=T), ncol = 4)
rownames(mat1) <- c ("R1", "R2", "R3", "R4", "R5")
colnames(mat1) <- c ("I1", "I2", "I3", "I4")

## generate a second region - industry matrix with full count (period 2)
mat2 <- mat1
mat2[3,1] <- 8

## run the function
growth.list (mat1, mat2)

## generate a third region - industry matrix with full count (period 3)
mat3 <- mat2
mat3[5,2] <- 1

## run the function
growth.list (mat1, mat2, mat3)

## generate a fourth region - industry matrix with full count (period 4)
mat4 <- mat3
mat4[5,4] <- 1

## run the function
growth.list (mat1, mat2, mat3, mat4)
