The Ipea Dataset

The Institute of Applied Economic Research of Brazil (Ipea) (Ipea, 2017) is a public institution of Brazil that provides support to the federal government with regard to public policies: fiscal, social, and economic. Ipea provides public datasets derived from real economic and financial data of the world. The Ipea datasets are available for download from the Ipea website.

The TSPred R-package includes two time series datasets provided by Ipea. They comprehend the most requested time series collected in monthly and daily rates. These datasets are henceforth referenced as Ipea_M and Ipea_D datasets, respectively. The Ipea_M and Ipea_D datasets comprehend observations of exchange rates (R$/US$), exports/imports prices, interest rates, minimum wage, unemployment rate, and more, measured from 1930 to September of 2017.

Ipea_M contains 23 time series of 156 to 1019 observations. Ipea_D contains 12 time series of 901 to 8154 observations.

The Ipea_M and Ipea_D datasets are present in TSPred R-Package as ipeadata_m and ipeadata_d, respectively.
