gvc package on CRAN

A new R package gvc is now available on CRAN. The package implements several global value chain indicators

• Importing to Export (i2e(), a.k.a. vertical specialization)
• Exporting to Re-export (e2r())
• New Revealed Comparative Advantage (nrca())

As well as several other tools.

The gvc package can now be install directly from R using:

{% highlight r %} install.packages(“gvc”) {% endhighlight %}

In addition to this, a development version is available on GitHub, this version is to be used at your own risk, it can be install using:

{% highlight r %} if (!require(‘devtools’)) install.packages(‘devtools’) devtools::install_github(“bquast/gvc”) {% endhighlight %}

More updates on both the decompr and gvc packges will follow soon.
