wlddev: World Development Dataset

In SebKrantz/collapse: Advanced and Fast Data Transformation

World Development Dataset

Description

This dataset contains 5 indicators from the World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI) database: (1) GDP per capita, (2) Life expectancy at birth, (3) GINI index, (4) Net ODA and official aid received and (5) Population. The panel data is balanced and covers 216 present and historic countries from 1960-2020 (World Bank aggregates and regional entities are excluded).

Apart from the indicators the data contains a number of identifiers (character country name, factor ISO3 country code, World Bank region and income level, numeric year and decade) and 2 generated variables: A logical variable indicating whether the country is an OECD member, and a fictitious variable stating the date the data was recorded. These variables were added so that all common data-types are represented in this dataset, making it an ideal test-dataset for certain collapse functions.

Usage

Examples

data(wlddev)

# Panel-summarizing the 5 series
qsu(wlddev, pid = ~iso3c, cols = 9:13, vlabels = TRUE)

# By Region
qsu(wlddev, by = ~region, cols = 9:13, vlabels = TRUE)

# Panel-summary by region
qsu(wlddev, by = ~region, pid = ~iso3c, cols = 9:13, vlabels = TRUE)

# Pairwise correlations: Ovarall
print(pwcor(get_vars(wlddev, 9:13), N = TRUE, P = TRUE), show = "lower.tri")

# Pairwise correlations: Between Countries
print(pwcor(fmean(get_vars(wlddev, 9:13), wlddev$iso3c), N = TRUE, P = TRUE), show = "lower.tri")

# Pairwise correlations: Within Countries
print(pwcor(fwithin(get_vars(wlddev, 9:13), wlddev$iso3c), N = TRUE, P = TRUE), show = "lower.tri")
