Export a panel to CSV, Stata or Parquet

Source: R/output.R
export_panel.Rd

Writes the panel and, by default, its codebook next to it (<name>_codebook.csv). Stata files carry variable labels from the codebook.

Usage

export_panel(x, path, format = NULL, codebook = TRUE)

Arguments

x

An rps_panel.

path

Output file path.

format

"csv", "stata" or "parquet". Guessed from the file extension (.csv, .dta, .parquet) when NULL.

codebook

Also write the codebook as CSV.

Value

The path, invisibly.

Examples

p <- build_panel(states = "CA", years = 2010:2020, groups = "rps",
                 rps_methods = "nominal")
f <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv")
export_panel(p, f)
head(read.csv(f))
