## Overview
PIBMUNIC (Produto Interno Bruto por MunicĂpio - Gross Domestic Product by Municipality) is Brazil's official municipal-level GDP data produced by [IBGE](https://www.ibge.gov.br/). This dataset provides:
- **Gross Domestic Product (GDP)**: Total economic output at current market prices
- **Value Added**: Gross value added by economic activity
- **Taxes and Subsidies**: Net taxes on products
- **Sectoral breakdown**: GDP disaggregated by economic sectors (agriculture, industry, services)
- **Municipal coverage**: All Brazilian municipalities
- **Long time series**: Historical data spanning multiple decades
- **Multi-level aggregation**: Available at country, state, and municipality levels
PIBMUNIC is essential for understanding Brazil's regional economic structure, identifying economic disparities, analyzing sectoral specialization, and assessing economic development across municipalities.
### Data Source and Methodology
PIBMUNIC data is compiled by IBGE using:
- Data from CEMPRE (firm registry) for employment and output
- Production and consumption surveys
- Tax and financial records
- Trade and services data
- National accounts framework aligned with international standards
For more information, visit [IBGE National Accounts](https://www.ibge.gov.br/en/statistics/economic/national-accounts/).

## Function Parameters
### 1. **dataset**
Only one dataset is available:
```r
dataset = "pibmunic" # Municipal GDP data
```
### 2. **raw_data**
Controls whether to download original or processed data.
- `TRUE`: Returns raw IBGE format
- `FALSE`: Returns treated data with English variable names and standardized formatting
```r
raw_data = FALSE # logical
```
### 3. **geo_level**
Specifies geographic aggregation level.
- `"country"`: National aggregate
- `"state"`: State-level aggregation
- `"municipality"`: Most detailed level with all municipalities
```r
geo_level = "municipality" # character string
```
### 4. **time_period**
Specifies which year(s) to download.
```r
time_period = 2020 # single year
time_period = c(2015, 2020) # specific years
time_period = 2015:2020 # range of years
```
### 5. **language**
Output language for variable names.
- `"pt"`: Portuguese
- `"eng"`: English
```r
language = "eng" # character string
```
***
## Examples
### Example 1: Municipal GDP for a single year
```{r eval=FALSE}
# download treated municipal GDP data for 2020
pib_munic <- load_pibmunic(
dataset = "pibmunic",
raw_data = FALSE,
geo_level = "municipality",
time_period = 2020,
language = "eng"
)
```
### Example 2: State-level GDP over time
```{r eval=FALSE}
# download treated state-level GDP data for 2015 to 2020
pib_state <- load_pibmunic(
dataset = "pibmunic",
raw_data = FALSE,
geo_level = "state",
time_period = 2015:2020,
language = "eng"
)
```
### Example 3: Country-level GDP in Portuguese
```{r eval=FALSE}
# download treated country-level GDP data for 2010 to 2020 in Portuguese
pib_br <- load_pibmunic(
dataset = "pibmunic",
raw_data = FALSE,
geo_level = "country",
time_period = 2010:2020,
language = "pt"
)
```
## Data Notes
### Variables Structure
Typical variables include:
- **gdp**: Gross Domestic Product at current prices (R$)
- **value_added_agriculture**: Farming and forestry sector
- **value_added_industry**: Manufacturing and construction
- **value_added_services**: Commerce, finance, transport, etc.
- **value_added_public_admin**: Government services
- **net_taxes**: Taxes minus subsidies
- Additional detail depends on specific IBGE release
### Current Prices
- All values are in "current prices" (nominal values, not deflated)
- For real (inflation-adjusted) comparisons, you need to apply price deflators
- Comparisons across years should account for inflation
### Data Coverage
- **All municipalities**: Includes all 5,570+ Brazilian municipalities
- **Time lag**: Data typically released 2+ years after reference year
- **Revisions**: IBGE periodically revises historical data
### Important Limitations
1. **Current prices**: Values not adjusted for inflation
2. **Time lag**: Recent years may not be available
3. **Confidentiality**: Some small municipalities may have aggregated data
4. **Methodological changes**: IBGE occasionally updates national accounts methodology
5. **Municipal boundaries**: Changed in 2021; affects historical comparisons
