Education data tables from WIC/IIASA #327

Open quciet opened 3 months ago

This is mostly a note to myself.

I'm re-evaluating all the tables we pulled from WIC data explorer (https://dataexplorer.wittgensteincentre.org/wcde-v3/). From this WIC data explorer, we can get two indicators- MYS and Education Attainment. Currently in IFs, all the ForecastEdAttainment tables (ending with "(B-L)") were pulled from Barro-Lee's forecast in 2017, they cover years 2015-2040. No further updates are required since then.

All the ForecastMYS tables are from IIASA, and they were pulled in different times with respect to different versions of IIASA. My assumption is that the 2014 data pull was for the original IIASA; then 2019's data pull for IIASA 2.0; and this year's data pull for IIASA 3.0.

  1. It seems that we are stilling using the IIASA1.0 as preprocessors, not IIASA 3.0. For example, ForecastMYSBothSexesAbove15YRsIIASASSP1 is marked as a preprocessor, but ForecastMYSBothSexesAbove15YRsIIASASSP1Rev23 is not. I think I should rename those old tables with adding "Rev14" as the suffix, and there need to be a code change to let IFs read tables with "Rev23"?

  2. I remember that we pulled some education attainment distribution tables this year, for example, ForecastEdPriAdultGrads15to19TotalSSP1Rev23. Mohammod took them for his education project, but it seems they have not been included into IFs' master database. Shall we add these tables into the master database?

  3. Some indicators have tables across all 3 versions of IIASA, for example, ForecastMYSFemaleAbove25YRsIIASASSP1, ForecastMYSFemaleAbove25YRsIIASASSP12018REV, ForecastMYSFemaleAbove25YRsIIASASSP1Rev23. But some indicators do not, for example, ForecastMYSBothSexesAbove15YRsIIASASSP1 ForecastMYSBothSexesAbove15YRsIIASASSP1Rev23 Shall we (data team) make sure every table has 3 versions?

  4. DataDict entries are super messy and not informative at all for previous versions of data. We need to do some housekeeping...
