flowsToMirror: Check which flows for which countries need to be mirrored.

In SWS-Methodology/faoswsTrade: FAO Trade Module

Check which flows for which countries need to be mirrored.

Description

Some countries may be listed as partners, but never show up as reporters, while other may have an incomplete coverage of reported flows (e.g., imports are reported, but not exports and partner report having imports from that country). This function checks when one of these two cases happen and build a table of them.

Usage

flowsToMirror(data = NA, names = FALSE)

Arguments

data	Trade dataset with ALL reporters included.
names	Logical: if TRUE an additional column is added to the result with country names (see faoAreaName; if FALSE (default) such column is not added.

Value

A table with two columns: area is the country (that could originally have been a reporter or a partner) code, and flow that is an integer representing imports (1) or exports (2).
