Express an aggregate per capita using ABS ERP

Usage

ato_per_capita(x, year, erp = NULL)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector of aggregate values (same length as year).

year

Character vector of financial years.

erp

Optional override: data frame with columns financial_year and erp_june_australia_thousands.

Value

Numeric vector of per-capita values (same units as x per person).

Details

Divides the input by Estimated Resident Population at 30 June of the financial year's end (a stock measure). For flow-style measures where a mid-year-average population is preferable, substitute a custom erp = argument. ERP is ABS's preferred population-denominator concept for per-capita economic statistics (see cat. 3101.0 methodology).
