household_column_find: Find Household Expenditure Column

Description

Identify the column position corresponding to final household expenditure in a symmetric input–output table or related table.

Usage

household_column_find(data_table)

Value

An integer vector giving the position(s) of household expenditure columns. Returns NULL if none are found.

Arguments

data_table

A symmetric input–output table, a use table, or a supply table.

Details

The function searches column names case-insensitively. It first looks for exact matches among the following alternatives:

• "households"

• "p3_s14"

• "final_consumption_households"

• "final_consumption_household"

• "consumption_expenditure_household"

• "consumption_expenditure_households"

If none of these are found, it falls back to any column name that contains "households".
