Load an ICIO Table from the 'icio' CSV Format

Reads an Inter-Country Input-Output table from the CSV format used by the Stata icio command and returns an 'icio' class object, ready for decomp and the decomposition functions.

Usage

load_icio_csv(
  table,
  countries,
  industries = NULL,
  output = NULL,
  va = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

table: character. Path to a headerless GN x (GN + G) CSV file holding the matrix [inter | final]: the first GN columns are the intermediate transactions, the last G columns the final demand (one aggregated column per country). Read with fread.
countries: character. Either a vector of G country codes, or the path to a headerless one-column CSV file containing them (the country list file of the Stata icio command).
industries: character. Either a vector of N industry codes, the path to a headerless one-column CSV file containing them, or NULL (the default) to generate "sector1", ..., "sectorN". The number of industries is inferred as N = GN / G.
output: numeric. Optional vector of gross outputs, see load_icio.
va: numeric. Optional vector of value added, see load_icio. The default is the column residual of the table, which reproduces the Stata icio command.
...: further arguments passed to fread.

Value

An 'icio' class object, see load_icio.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# A table exported for the Stata 'icio' command, together with its country list
m <- load_icio_csv("EM_2015.csv", "EM_countrylist.csv")

# Supplying the real sector codes so they appear in the results
m <- load_icio_csv("EM_2015.csv", "EM_countrylist.csv",
                   industries = c("AFF", "MIN", "MAN"))

decomp(m, aggregation = "bilateral")
} # }
