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) Robert D.
