Actually, I just found exactly what you want. Before that though, I am
having a hard time finding any such cool job despite having even had
classes with some great professors in economics at UND, and so I work in a
completely non data related thing.
Here is exactly what you want, code included. Then on the right side of
Rstudio you can click the word "desc" and get a table of the variable name
and it's description.
variable <- c("year", "inv", "pop", "price", "linv", "lpop", "lprice", "t",
"invpc", "linvpc", "lprice_1", "linvpc_1", "gprice", "ginvpc")
description <- c("1947-1988","real housing inv, millions $","population,
1000s","housing price index; 1982 = 1",
"log(inv)","log(pop)","log(price)","time trend: t=1,...,42","per
capita inv: inv/pop",
"log(invpc)","lprice[_n-1]","linvpc[_n-1]","lprice -
lprice_1","linvpc - linvpc_1")
desc <- cbind(variable, description)
