pulso
pulso provides programmatic access to Colombian microdata, with a focus on the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH) published monthly by DANE. It is the R companion to the pulso-co Python package.
Installation
install.packages("pulso")
Development version:
# install.packages("remotes")

Usage
Load a single GEIH module for a given period:
library(pulso)
ocupados <- pulso_load(year = 2024, month = 6, module = "ocupados")
Discover and describe canonical variables across survey epochs:
pulso_list_variables(module = "ocupados")
pulso_describe_variable("oci")
