13 Update the Master file

In the previous chapters we have seen how to update different sheets of the master file. In this chapter we basically summarize and reference to the specific location in which we explain how to update each spreadsheet.

  • Population. Section 6.1.

  • RegionLookup. Updated manually

  • CountryList. Updated manually. Right now, it is the source of the country_list auxiliary file in PIP. Is there a way to update this automatically? Is this information somewhere else?

  • CountyLooskUp. Updated manually.

  • CurrencyConversion. Updated Manually. The reason for this is that in the Surveymean sheet there is an additional columns for taking currency conversion into account. This double-source availability of currency conversion is avoided in PIP, where the information is automatically updated from the information available in DLW.

  • CPI. Section 6.3.

  • PPP. Section 6.3.

  • GDP. Section 6.2.

  • PCE. Section 6.2.

  • SurveyInfo. Section 6.4.

  • SurveyMean. Section 11.4.

Just make sure you have updated the master file following the instructions in each of the sections above.
