Monitoring Convergence of EU Countries.

R package convergEU

Indicators and measures by country and time describe what happens at economic and social levels. This package provides functions to calculate several measures of convergence after imputing missing values. The automated download of Eurostat data, followed by the production of country fiches and indicator fiches, makes possible to automate the production of reports. This is the development release.
