silc_agg_list

List default aggregates calculated when estimating EU-SILC indicators in a given year.

%silc_agg_list(time, _agg_=, _eu_=, _ea_=);

Arguments

time : any single year of interest.

Returns

• _agg_ : (option) variable storing the default list of aggregates to be computed in survey year time;
• _eu_ : (option) variable storing the actual aggregate (e.g., either EU28, or EU27, or EU25, ...) to be calculated in place of EU;
• _ea_ : (option) variable storing the actual aggregate (e.g., either EA19, or EA18, or EA17, ...) to be calculated in place of EA.

Example

Running for instance:

%let Agg=;
%let EU=;
%let EA=;
%silc_agg_list(2006, _agg_=Agg, _eu_=EU, _ea_=EA);

will return: Agg=EA18 EA19, EA=EA12 and EU=EU25.

See %_example_silc_agg_list for more examples.

Notes

1. One at least of the parameters _agg_, _eu_ or _ea_ should be set.
2. This macro should be implemented through a metadata table, instead of being hard encoded as is the case now, e.g. something like:

   	EU15	EU25	EU27	EU28	EA12	EA13	EA15	EA16	EA17	EA18	EA19
   2003	X				X
   2004		X			X
   2005		X			X
   2006		X			X
   2007			X			X
   2008			X				X
   2009			X					X
   2010				X				X
   2011				X					X
   2012				X					X
   2013				X					X
   2014				X						X
   2015				X							X
   2016				X							X
   2017				X							X
   ...	...	...	...	...	...	...	...	...	...	...	...

   should be used to retrieve the desired global variables
