Changing administrative regional boundaries over time complicates the construction of consistent regional panel data. The `nuts` package can transform European regional NUTS codes between different versions and levels with the aim to harmonize and link data sets at the regional NUTS level.

The package converts data between three regional hierarchical levels

- NUTS1
- NUTS2
- NUTS3

and between five NUTS versions
The packages main task is to convert data between five NUTS versions

- 2006
- 2010
- 2013
- 2016
- 2021

These conversions can be performed in any direction based on spatial interpolation using five different weights (regional area in square kilometers, 2011 and 2018 population size, 2012 and 2018 built-up area). The weights are based on conversion tables provided by the [Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission (EC)](<https://urban.jrc.ec.europa.eu/nutsconverter/#/>) that are used in their online converter. This R package permits to do the same conversion offline with additional advantages such as conversion within groups, enabling the conversion of datasets with multiple NUTS versions efficiently.
