In SWS-Methodology/faoswsFood: Package to perform the computation of food consumption FAO food balance sheets

Calculate Food Forward and Backward

Description

The function compute the estimates for food consumption in the time t based on the food consumption in the t-1.

Usage

computeFoodForwardBackward(food, pop, elas, gdp, netTrade, functionalForm,
  timePointYears, protected, type, referenceYear)

Arguments

food	The food consumption at time t.
pop	Population at time t.
elas	The elasticity of the commodity. This will vary by country and commodity.
netTrade	The Net Trade (imports - exports) at time t.
functionalForm	Currently one of 0, 1, 2, or 3. Specifies if a log-log, semi-log, or inverse-log food demand model should be used.
timePointYears	A numeric vector with the years.
protected	A logical value indicating whether the value is proetcted or not.
type	A character string indicating the levels of the food classification of the commodity.
referenceYear	Year of reference to start to compute the food estimates.
gdp_pc	Per person GDP (gross domestic product) at time t.

Value

A numeric vector of the estimated food consumption.
