Compute One-shot opportunistic companies over the crisis indicator

The indicator focuses on companies that after the emergency outbreak win one or more public contracts, without winning in the years before the emergency outbreak (e.g., in the preceding five years), with reference to contracts belonging to relevant economic market.

Motivation

The red flag considers at risk those companies that show a "one-shot opportunistic behaviour", that is, companies that after the emergency outbreak have been awarded one or more public contracts but have not shown any competitive power in the previous year(s).

Scoring rule

If a company wins one or more contracts after the emergency outbreak but has not won any contracts in the years before the emergency outbreak, the indicator will be equal to 1; otherwise, it will be equal to 0.

Main target unit

This indicator targets companies.

Usage

ind_7(data, final_award_date, emergency_name, stat_unit, years_before, ...)

Arguments

data: a dataframe containing the data to use for computing the indicator.
final_award_date: name of the variable in data containing award notice date for each contract.
emergency_name: string specifying the name of the emergency to consider. Examples could include "Coronavirus" or "Terremoto Centro Italia 2016-2017".
stat_unit: name of the variable in data containing the target unit ID (in this case, company).

indicator schema as from generate_indicator_schema().

if (FALSE) {
if (interactive()) {
  mock_data_core <- mock_data_core |>
    tidyr::unnest(aggiudicatari, keep_empty = TRUE)
  ind_7(
    data = mock_data_core,
    final_award_date = data_aggiudicazione_definitiva,
    stat_unit = codice_fiscale,
    emergency_name = "coronavirus",
    years_before = 1
  )
}
