Description

The vietnamdata package provides several datasets that are useful for political scientists interested in Vietnam, and convenient functions for empirical analysis using these datasets

Details

The package contains four key datasets: planned national budget breakdowns by provinces, realized national budget breakdowns by provinces, Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) aggregate and component scores by provinces, and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) aggregate and component scores by provinces.

It also provides convenient functions to perform Randomization Inference implementation for some common empirical methods such as Linear Regression, Weighted Fixed Effects Regression, and Synthetic Control. These functions are often helpful for finite-sample problems that often characterize provincial-level quantitative analyses of Vietnam.

Note

The functions in this package makes heavy use of existing functions from the wfe, Synth, and permute packages. All errors in implementation, howerver, are my own.
