Detailed Description

Data visualisation plays a crucial role in communicating economic insights to a general audience. The standard tools of the trade, like bar charts and line charts, have been used for decades by economists to convey study results. Even though economists use these tools, their papers are often challenging for a layperson to understand as they are written for a specific academic audience familiar with the field’s terminology. These papers are also quite dense with mathematical analysis, which requires a significant time investment to understand the study results. There are books written on these subjects, but only a few people would be willing to go through a 300-page book to know about a topic they are only curious about. This project will use data visualisation to communicate the study results in a way that is easy to understand and engaging to read. By visualising the study results, the audience can see the data come alive, and hopefully, they will be much more interested in learning about the topic.
