hdData360r : A high-dimensional panel data compiler for governance, trade, and competitiveness indicators of World Bank Group platforms

The presented R package called hdData360r collects and preprocesses thousands of up-to-date annual governance, trade, and competitiveness indicators from World Bank Group platforms for all countries worldwide. It contains a function named get_hdData360 that has one mandatory and two optional user-defined arguments. The mandatory argument (firstYear) specifies the first year of data collection, while the first optional argument (impute) can be used for missing value imputation. The get_hdData360 function generates a list object that contains the panel data, the metadata of its indicators, the country data, and the information of the data generation process. The second optional argument (writeTSV) allows exporting this object into tab-separated value (TSV) files. The hdData360r R package with a sample dataset it generates is available publicly on GitHub and Mendeley Data
