Chapter Chapter 1 in Using R for Trade Policy Analysis, 2023, pp 1-67 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is designed to provide a beginner user of R with key information to be ready to understand the code used in this book. First, we will learn how to launch a project in RStudio in Section 1.3.1 and open an R Script file in Section 1.3.2. Section 1.4 explains how to install and load packages in R and which packages the reader needs to install and load to replicate the code in this book. These sections contain several screen-shots of my computer so that the reader can follow all the steps visually. In Section 1.5, we will learn how to read and replicate the code in this book. Finally, the chapter ends with examples with R. Section 1.6, presents eight key facts regarding the R grammar I think any beginner should be aware of. Section 1.7.1 builds a step-by-step example applying the knowledge of the previous section. Section 1.7.2 shows the main data management operations with two dummy data sets.
