Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: wdi_deflate converts monetary variables between local currency units (LCU), PPP international dollars, and nominal US dollars, adjusting for inflation using World Development Indicators (WDI) data. It creates new variables (or replaces existing ones) containing the converted values. The command handles both cross-sectional data with a fixed source year and panel data where the source year varies by observation.
