Access UK Housing Data from Land Registry, EPC, and Planning

Fetch UK housing data from official sources. Access the UK House Price Index and Price Paid Data from 'HM Land Registry' < https://landregistry.data.gov.uk/>, domestic and non-domestic Energy Performance Certificates from the 'MHCLG' Open Data service < https://epc.opendatacommunities.org/>, and planning application, brownfield land, and local plan data from 'planning.data.gov.uk' < https://www.planning.data.gov.uk/>. Data covers all 441 UK local authorities from 1995 to the present. Functions accept flexible filters (postcode, local authority, property type, date range) and return tidy data frames. Downloaded data is cached locally for subsequent calls.

Download and Tidy 'HMRC' Statistical Data

Provides functions to download, parse, and tidy statistical data published by 'HM Revenue and Customs' ('HMRC') on 'GOV.UK'. Returns annotated 'hmrc_tbl' data frames with provenance metadata (source URL, fetch time, vintage, cell methods) for reproducible fiscal research. Covers monthly tax receipts (41 tax heads from 2008), 'VAT' (from 1973), fuel duties (from 1990), tobacco duties (from 1991), annual 'Corporation Tax' receipts, stamp duty, research and development tax credit statistics (from 2000), tax gap estimates, 'Income Tax' liabilities by income range, and monthly property transaction counts. File URLs are resolved at runtime via the 'GOV.UK' Content API < https://www.gov.uk/api/content>, so data is always current without hardcoded URLs. Files are cached locally between sessions.

Inequality Measurement, Decomposition, and Poverty Analysis

Tools for measuring income and wealth inequality. Computes the Gini coefficient with bootstrap or asymptotic confidence intervals following Davidson (2009) , the extended S-Gini family, Theil T and L indices (generalised entropy family), the Atkinson index, the Kolm absolute inequality index, Palma ratio, Hoover index, percentile ratios, and Lorenz curves. Supports between-within group decomposition following Bourguignon (1979) , income share tabulation, concentration indices for health inequality with Erreygers (2009) correction, Kakwani tax progressivity and Reynolds-Smolensky redistribution indices, Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measures including the Sen index, growth incidence curves following Ravallion and Chen (2003) , and Wolfson polarisation. All functions accept optional survey weights and work with data from any source.

Access International Monetary Fund Data via the 'SDMX' 3.0 API

Download macroeconomic and financial statistics from the International Monetary Fund data portal (< https://data.imf.org>), served through an 'SDMX' 3.0 REST API. Provides a tidy interface to the Fund's flagship databases, beginning with the World Economic Outlook, and reads the compact 'SDMX-CSV' representation of each query for fast, dependency-light parsing.

Inflation Decomposition, Core Measures, and Trend Estimation

Tools for analysing inflation dynamics. Computes weighted contributions of price index components, core inflation measures (trimmed mean, weighted median, exclusion-based) following Bryan and Cecchetti (1994) , inflation persistence via sum-of-AR-coefficients, diffusion indices, Phillips curve estimation, breakeven inflation, and trend inflation using the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition and Hodrick-Prescott filter. All functions are pure computation and work with price data from any source.

Debt Sustainability Analysis and Fiscal Risk Assessment

Analyses government debt sustainability using the standard debt dynamics framework from Blanchard (1990) and the IMF Debt Sustainability Analysis methodology (IMF, 2013) and the Sovereign Risk and Debt Sustainability Framework (IMF, 2022). Projects debt-to-GDP paths, decomposes historical debt changes into interest, growth, and primary balance contributions, and estimates fiscal reaction functions following Bohn (1998) . Produces stochastic fan charts via Monte Carlo simulation, standardised stress tests, and IMF- style heat map risk assessments. Computes S1/S2 sustainability gap indicators used by the European Commission. All methods are pure computation with no external dependencies beyond base R; works with fiscal data from any source.

Clustering Communication Networks Using the Stochastic Topic Block Model Through Linkage.fr

It allows to cluster communication networks using the Stochastic Topic Block Model by posting jobs through the API of the linkage.fr server, which implements the clustering method. The package also allows to visualize the clustering results returned by the server.

Access the 'Anthropic Economic Index' Dataset

Provides clean, tidy access to the 'Anthropic Economic Index' (AEI) dataset hosted on 'Hugging Face' < https://huggingface.co/datasets/Anthropic/EconomicIndex>. The AEI is a recurring release from 'Anthropic' that maps usage of the 'Claude' family of large language models to occupations and tasks using the 'O*NET' taxonomy and the 'Standard Occupational Classification' system, following the methodology of Handa et al. (2025) and the privacy-preserving system 'Clio' of Tamkin et al. (2024) . Functions list available releases, fetch raw and enriched usage tables, retrieve task statements, request hierarchies, country-level breakdowns, and the standalone labor market impacts tables (job exposure and task penetration), compare two releases, join the index to user-supplied data on a shared key, and compute usage-concentration metrics (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, top-N concentration ratios, Shannon entropy). Data is cached locally for subsequent calls. Reproducibility helpers produce 'BibTeX' or plain-text citations that include the methodological source paper. This product uses the 'Anthropic Economic Index' data (released under CC-BY by 'Anthropic') but is not endorsed or certified by 'Anthropic'.

Access 'Office for Budget Responsibility' Data

Provides clean, tidy access to data published by the 'Office for Budget Responsibility' ('OBR'), the UK's independent fiscal watchdog. Covers the Public Finances Databank (outturn for PSNB, PSND, receipts, and expenditure since 1946), the Historical Official Forecasts Database (every 'OBR' forecast since 2010), the Economic and Fiscal Outlook detailed forecast tables (five-year projections from the latest Budget), the monthly profiles for the public finances (the 'OBR' forecast apportioned across the months of the fiscal year), the Welfare Trends Report (incapacity benefit spending and caseloads), and the Fiscal Risks and Sustainability Report (50-year state pension projections). All returned objects carry provenance metadata recording the source URL, publication vintage, retrieval time, and file fingerprint, so analyses can be audited and reproduced. Data is downloaded from the 'OBR' on first use and cached locally for subsequent calls. Data is sourced from the 'OBR' website < https://obr.uk>.

Access Australian Electoral Commission Data

Provides clean, tidy access to Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) federal election data. Includes results for the House of Representatives and Senate from 2007 onwards, at both division and polling place level, plus by-elections from 2008 onwards, the 2023 referendum, and the full distribution of preferences. Data is downloaded directly from the AEC < https://results.aec.gov.au> on first use and cached locally for subsequent calls.
