Some Python scripts which are useful for the UN Comtrade dataset. Not complete at the moment, will add more funcionality over time. Code mostly meant as started code at the moment, feel free to implement your own functionalities and PR :)

In ./data/ I've included 2 folders of cleaned up csv files for both oil (HS code 27) and wood (HS code 44) for 1988-2017.

Installation

Install needed packages using conda: conda env create -f environment.yml

How to Use

To create the adjacency matrix: python create_adjacency_matrix.py

Information

Information about the UN comtrade dataset can be found here: https://comtrade.un.org/

I've also written about the UN Comtrade database in Chapter 4 of my MSc thesis here. Section 4.1 in particular should help explain the UN Comtrade dataset: https://project-archive.inf.ed.ac.uk/msc/20193694/msc_proj.pdf
