International data (WB, UNDP, JMP) Nov. 2017. Preprocessed with R (code included).

Preprocess of the following data for use with R:

• JMP, http://washdata.org/data [Nov. 2017]
• UNDP, http://hdr.undp.org/en/data [Nov. 2017]
• WB, http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/world-development-indicators [Nov. 2017]

R files:

-          DATA2017_Part0.R : It reads the .csv files and writes three .Rdata with the tables with country data and description of variables, one for each data source. The WB pairs indicator-year are dropped if they do not have a minimum of records available. The selection is time consuming. Because of this, an auxiliary table with the number of records for all indicator-years has been saved separately from main results.  Also, specific outputs for two thresholds have been already computed (200 and 250).  A correspondence between country names used by UNDP and JMP-WB is provided in a .csv file.

-          DATA2017_Part0B.R : Here, the three tables of data and the three ones with description of the indicators are merged. The countries are kept in the final list only if they are present in the three sources. 

-          DATA2017_Part0C.R : First, data available for year 2015 are collected.. The WB records are kept only if they have less than 40 empty cases. Second, the indicators with time evolution data from 2000-2010 are merged in a single table (WB and JMP data).
