BindPiecesLma {LabourMarketAreas}

BindPiecesLma

Description

This function (row) binds two local labour market areas structures. It deletes the communities that are registered twice (or more) in both structures. It deletes the communities that are not registered in the input flows data frame/data.frame. LMA Ids that are registered in both structures are deleted as well.

In case there are common LMA ids, those of input2 are summed to the maximum LMA id of input1.
