iso3c_kr() Converts Korean country names into iso3c country codes.
Korean governmental data often uses country names only in Korean, and
without universal country codes. Sometimes, Korean-language country names
are not consistent across different datasets. This function is designed to
assign universal iso3c country codes to Korean-language country names that
will make it easier to join different kinds of data.
There can be problems with some countries when used in a country-year panel data format, especially for countries that have gone through political transitions such as Germany, Serbia, Vietnam, Yemen and so on.
Arguments
- df
A character vector of source dataframe name.
- country_kr
A character vector of the column name that has Korean-language country names.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
df <- iso3c_kr(df, country_kr)
head(df)
}
