Recode geo labels and rename regions from NUTS2016 to NUTS2013

Source: R/deprecated_regions_functions.R
recode_to_nuts_2013.Rd

Eurostat mixes NUTS2013 and NUTS2016 geographic label codes in the 'geo' column, which creates time-wise comparativity issues.

This function is deprecated, and a more general function was moved to [regions::recode_nuts()].

Usage

recode_to_nuts_2013(dat)

Arguments

dat

A Eurostat data frame downloaded with get_eurostat().

Value

An augmented and potentially relabelled data frame which contains all formerly 'NUTS2013' definition geo labels in the 'NUTS2016' vocabulary when only the code changed, but the boundary did not. It also contains some information on other geo labels that cannot be brought to the current 'NUTS2013' definition. Furthermore, when the official name of the region changed, it will use the new name (if the otherwise the region boundary did not change.) If not called before, the function will use the helper function harmonize_geo_code()

See also

regions::recode_nuts()

Other regions functions: add_nuts_level(), harmonize_geo_code(), recode_to_nuts_2016(), reexports

  values = c(1:6),
  control = c(
    "Changed from NUTS2 to NUTS1",
    "New region NUTS2016 only",
    "Discontinued region NUTS2013",
    "Boundary shift NUTS2013",
    "Recoded in NUTS2013",
    "Recoded in NUTS2016"
