Download CPS microdata

Description

Download CPS microdata

Usage

cps_download_data(
  path = "cps_data",
  years = seq(1994, 2018, 2),
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

path

A file path (relative or absolute) where the downloads should go.

years

Which years of data to download. Defaults to all even-numbered years from 1994 to 2018.

overwrite

Logical, whether to write over existing files or not. Defaults to FALSE.

Details

• File names will be written in the style "cps_nov2018.zip", with the appropriate years.

• The Voting and Registration Supplement is only conducted in even-numbered years (since 1964), so any entry in years outside of this will be skipped.

• Currently the package only supports downloads from 1994 onwards, so any entry in years before 1994 will be skipped.

Examples

cps_download_data(path = "cps_docs", years = 2016, overwrite = TRUE)
