List the EFO detailed-forecast tables this package can fetch

Source: R/efo_catalogue.R
obr_efo_catalogue.Rd

Returns a data frame describing every Detailed Forecast Table in the OBR Economic and Fiscal Outlook (Aggregates and Economy workbooks) that get_efo_table() knows how to parse.

Usage

obr_efo_catalogue()

Value

A data frame with columns:

table_id

The EFO table identifier (e.g. "6.5", "1.7").

file

Which EFO workbook the table sits in: "aggregates" or "economy".

section

Theme tag (e.g. "GDP", "Labour", "Debt").

title

Human-readable title taken from the OBR contents page.

layout

Layout family the parser uses: "quarterly_wide", "quarterly_single", "annual_year_wide", "fiscal_year_wide", or "cross_reference".

default_metric_type

Default metric_type applied to series whose name does not signal otherwise. NA lets the heuristic decide per row.

default_unit

Default unit for the same.

Details

Use this catalogue to discover which tables are available, what each contains, and the default metric_type / unit get_efo_table() will attach. Pass any table_id to get_efo_table().

Coverage: 17 fiscal aggregates tables (Section 6) plus 22 macro economy tables (Section 1). One sheet (6.11) is currently a cross-reference to a previous EFO and returns NULL with a warning rather than data.
