Run gently in R:

or you can find the deployed app hosted at https://alicezhao.shinyapps.io/abc-final/

Dataset

The data is world trade data taken from WTO. The initial data is from 1946-2020. However, there were a lot of missing values in the early years. Also, the speed of running the app was quite slow with too many years. As a result, we omitted the rows that had missing values and ended up with data starting from 2000.

Interface

Our application is a 3 panel shiny dashboard.

The first panel shows the sankey plot of the data. You can select whether it is country or region on both sides of the plot. You can also see the difference as time changes. This plot only shows the total export/import value.

The second panel shows map of the data. You can select either import or export, and you can further specify the type of product or service that was traded.

The third panel is a treemap. It starts with the country, after you click, you can select import or export, the next phase would show you how much each type of product/service take up the whole import/export value.

The last panel is bar chart. You can see the country's export and import value by the categories. It shows a good comparison between the difference of export and import.
