Stack City and PRA Data for All Years

Main PRA output function. Builds dataset with different row count based on how many cities and whether one wants Paris PRAs disaggregated or not.

pra_stack(topn = 100, overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

topn

integer 100 or 200 largest cities to consider

overwrite

Boolean TRUE/FALSE whether to overwrite or read from disk

paris_pras

Boolean TRUE/FALSE to disaggregate parisian PRAs or not

Details

How does the mapping from PRA prices to cities work? For years up to and and including 2000, we can rely on a 1:1 mapping of PRA_Code which maps city CODGEO to PRA_Code. Year 2015 does not have this mapping, so we first match by department and name and then manually fix the missing data for each city in function get_PRA_result_name_1999().

Function Contents

• Load PRA Data for each year

• stack all years

• return from function if we are checking with paris_pra = TRUE

• otherwise continue:

• keep only ranks topn

• merge AOC classification by CODGEO

• price in Euros

• merge AU classification by CODGEO

• merge Urban wage data by AU2010 (from CASD)

• compute rank by population of 1975 to get popweights

Load PRA Data for each year

The function has 5 functions that create data (4 in the topn=200 sample). Additionally the user can choose to output Paris PRAs in a disaggregated way for checking with argument paris_pra.

1. pra_1950()

2. pra_1975()

3. pra_1990()

4. pra_2000()

5. add_prices_PRA() with yr = 2015 argument.
