United States of America Education budget to GDP analysis

Data

Data comes from Office of Management and Budget, President’s Budget from white house official website on https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/omb/budget/fy2018/hist05z2.xls

It consists of useful information about BUDGET AUTHORITY BY AGENCY in the range 1976–2022.

Gross Domestic Value(GDP) comes from DataHub http://datahub.io/core/gdp/r/gdp.csv since it is regularly updated and includes all country codes.

Note that data in data/budget.csv starting 2017, the value is estimate value

Preparation

There are several steps have been done to get final data.

• We extracted budget and gdp data separately
• We merged and added new column RATIO which is calculated by education expenditure / GDP

Process is recorded and automated in python script:
