Upward-downward convergence declaration

Indicators and measures by country and time describe what happens at economic and social levels. This package provides functions to calculate several measures of convergence after imputing missing values. The automated downloading of Eurostat data, followed by the production of country fiches and indicator fiches, makes possible to produce automated reports. The Eurofound report (<doi:10.2806/68012>) "Upward convergence in the EU: Concepts, measurements and indicators", 2018, is a detailed presentation of convergence.
