pulso

pulso provides programmatic access to Colombian microdata, with a focus on the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (GEIH) published monthly by DANE. It is the R companion to the pulso-co Python package.

Installation

install.packages("pulso")

Development version:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("Stebandido77/pulso", subdir = "r")

Usage

Load a single GEIH module for a given period:

library(pulso)
ocupados <- pulso_load(year = 2024, month = 6, module = "ocupados")

Discover and describe canonical variables across survey epochs:

pulso_list_variables(module = "ocupados")
pulso_describe_variable("oci")

Fetch the Banco de la República monetary policy rate (TPM):

tpm <- pulso_tpm(start = "2020-01-01")

See vignette("pulso") for the GEIH workflow and vignette("banrep") for Banco de la República data.

Data sources

• GEIH — Colombia’s main household labor survey, 2007–present, via DANE’s public anonymized microdata releases.
• Banco de la República — Monetary policy rate (TPM) via the SDMX 2.1 API, with a bundled snapshot as offline fallback.
