hicp-packageThe Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) is the key economic
figure to measure inflation in the euro area. The methodology underlying
the HICP is documented in the HICP Methodological Manual (Eurostat
2024). Based on this manual, the hicp-package provides
functions to access and work with HICP data (price indices and weights)
from Eurostat’s public database. Further details can be found in the
package vignette.
The hicp-functions are designed for the use with
R’s data.table
package.
