getNIPAFiles

This function downloads and processes National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA)
data files from the BEA website. It reads the necessary register files, formats the
date column, and then uses the fast stringi functions together with tidyr's unnest()
to split the combined <code>TableId:LineNo</code> field into separate rows and columns. Finally,
it merges the datasets.

Utilities to retrieve and tidy U.S. macroeconomic data series
from public government data providers. Functions streamline access to series
from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED),
the Bureau of Labor Statistics flat files, and the Bureau of Economic
Analysis National Income and Product Accounts tables, then return
consistent, tidy data frames ready for modeling and graphics. The package includes
helpers for date alignment, log-linear projections, and common macro diagnostics,
along with convenience plot builders for quick publication-quality charts.
