When you download the IMF’s World Economic Outlook (WEO), you will get the data in a wide format. That is, you will get the years in columns and the variables as well as the countries stacked in rows. When running panel data models in most software programs, you are usually expected to provide data in a long format. That is, you need to reshape the data such that years and countries are stacked in rows while variables occupy columns. Below, I will show you how to clean and reshape the WEO dataset from wide to long format.
You will need to load the following packages (if you haven’t installed these packages, make sure to do so.)
\(~\)
\(~\)
rm(list = ls())
library(tidyverse) #to process and analyze the data
library(ggthemes) #to visualize the data\(~\)
When loading the data be aware that it has three different types of missing values: some missing values are marked n/a, others are marked -- , while the rest are blank cells, for which you can specify "". You can see a short preview of the resulting data frame (8732 observations over 55 variables) below.
