World Bank data

Goal: come up with actionable insights using KPIs from around the world using data from the World Bank. Some possible examples:

  • what kinds of business are predicted to be on the rise in each country?
  • which countries might be sensitive to different types of industry changes?
  • pick a specific industry; make predictions for the future based on different KPIs in different countries

A major part of this data challenge is time management. Here's the initial schedule: let's see how well I can keep it.

  • 30 minutes: reading about the structure of the data and coming up with a question
  • 30 minutes: explore the data (pivot tables, info summaries, quick plots, etc)
  • 2 hours: build model
  • 1 hour: make visualizations
  • 45 minutes: reformat notebook for legibility and summarize the actionable insights at the top

Outcome

I spent about 5-6 hours on this, scattered in chunks. Understanding the data was a little more tricky than I anticipated, given the number of indicators and the domain knowledge needed to interpret them. The World Bank website itself has a very good API and plotting package associated with it, so that I really didn't need much of this separate notebook. A lot of my analysis could have been done in situ.

I ended up looking at countries that were experiencing the highest levels of energy depletion, defined as the ratio of the value of their current stock to remaining future reserves. I wanted to find the countries that had the highest rates (who are potentially facing near-term financial and energy crises) and see if this related to their likelihood of diversifying and investing in other areas.

The Middle East & North Africa as a region has the highest energy depletion rate (EDR) in the world (peaking as high as 20% of their gross national index, currently at around 10%). Within the region, there's significant diversity; small, currently oil-rich countries like Bahrain and Qatar have among the highest EDRs, while cultural and geographic outliers like Israel, Malta, and Morocco have among the lowest EDRs.

Splitting the countries in the region by EDR, I looked at their investment in three areas that would be more "renewable" and potentially profitable: tourism, research & development, and education. All countries with low EDR spend more of their gross national index in each of these areas; of the "at-risk" countries with high EDR, though, there wasn't any strong increase in these indices in the last five years (with a couple exceptions: Oman is increasing spending on education, and Qatar is getting more income from tourism). These aren't strong signs for the future of the citizens in these countries.

Future work would be to explore this for the remainder of the countries in the dataset and to find historical trends of countries that had high EDRs and then re-invested in the development indicators above. That would be useful data to put into a training model and predict which of the countries in the Middle East & North Africa are capable of bucking the trend.

Step 1 (30 minutes) - content/structure of data and coming up with a question

10:41am start

These are development indicators - measuring lots of different metrics about all of the countries in the world (217 by the WB count). It's updated regularly (every three months, or quarterly) and is aggregated from a number of international sources. This is a very current dataset, with the most recent on 10 Aug 2016 (two weeks ago).

Source of data is http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/world-development-indicators - I got the product as a bulk download of a zipped CSV file. Looks to be several different tables; if they're meant to be linked, then this might be appropriate for either using merged Pandas dataframes or inserting them into an SQL database.

EN.CLC.MDAT.ZS, Droughts, floods and extreme temperatures is the annual average percentage of the population that is affected by natural disasters classified as either droughts, floods, or extreme temperature events. A drought is an extended period of time characterized by a deficiency in a region's water supply that is the result of constantly below average precipitation. A drought can lead to losses to agriculture, affect inland navigation and hydropower plants, and cause a lack of drinking water and famine. A flood is a significant rise of water level in a stream, lake, reservoir or coastal region. Extreme temperature events are either cold waves or heat waves. A cold wave can be both a prolonged period of excessively cold weather and the sudden invasion of very cold air over a large area. Along with frost it can cause damage to agriculture, infrastructure, and property. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot and sometimes also humid weather relative to normal climate patterns of a certain region. Population affected is the number of people injured, left homeless or requiring immediate assistance during a period of emergency resulting from a natural disaster; it can also include displaced or evacuated people. Average percentage of population affected is calculated by dividing the sum of total affected for the period stated by the sum of the annual population figures for the period stated.

EN.CO2.ETOT.ZS, CO2 emissions from electricity and heat production is the sum of three IEA categories of CO2 emissions: (1) Main Activity Producer Electricity and Heat which contains the sum of emissions from main activity producer electricity generation, combined heat and power generation and heat plants. Main activity producers (formerly known as public utilities) are defined as those undertakings whose primary activity is to supply the public. They may be publicly or privately owned. This corresponds to IPCC Source/Sink Category 1 A 1 a. For the CO2 emissions from fuel combustion (summary) file, emissions from own on-site use of fuel in power plants (EPOWERPLT) are also included. (2) Unallocated Autoproducers which contains the emissions from the generation of electricity and/or heat by autoproducers. Autoproducers are defined as undertakings that generate electricity and/or heat, wholly or partly for their own use as an activity which supports their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. In the 1996 IPCC Guidelines, these emissions would normally be distributed between industry, transport and "other" sectors. (3) Other Energy Industries contains emissions from fuel combusted in petroleum refineries, for the manufacture of solid fuels, coal mining, oil and gas extraction and other energy-producing industries. This corresponds to the IPCC Source/Sink Categories 1 A 1 b and 1 A 1 c. According to the 1996 IPCC Guidelines, emissions from coke inputs to blast furnaces can either be counted here or in the Industrial Processes source/sink category. Within detailed sectoral calculations, certain non-energy processes can be distinguished. In the reduction of iron in a blast furnace through the combustion of coke, the primary purpose of the coke oxidation is to produce pig iron and the emissions can be considered as an industrial process. Care must be taken not to double count these emissions in both Energy and Industrial Processes. In the IEA estimations, these emissions have been included in this category.

EN.CO2.MANF.ZS, CO2 emissions from manufacturing industries and construction contains the emissions from combustion of fuels in industry. The IPCC Source/Sink Category 1 A 2 includes these emissions.

The IEA data are not collected in a way that allows the energy consumption to be split by specific end-use and therefore, autoproducers are shown as a separate item (Unallocated Autoproducers). Manufacturing industries and construction also includes emissions from coke inputs into blast furnaces, which may be reported either in the transformation sector, the industry sector or the separate IPCC Source/Sink Category 2, Industrial Processes.

EN.CO2.OTHX.ZS, CO2 emissions from other sectors, less residential buildings and commercial and public services, contains the emissions from commercial/institutional activities, residential, agriculture/forestry, fishing and other emissions not specified elsewhere that are included in the IPCC Source/Sink Categories 1 A 4 and 1 A 5.

The IEA data are not collected in a way that allows the energy consumption to be split by specific end-use and therefore, autoproducers are shown as a separate item (Unallocated Autoproducers).

EN.CO2.TRAN.ZS, CO2 emissions from transport contains emissions from the combustion of fuel for all transport activity, regardless of the sector, except for international marine bunkers and international aviation. This includes domestic aviation, domestic navigation, road, rail and pipeline transport, and corresponds to IPCC Source/Sink Category 1 A 3. In addition, the IEA data are not collected in a way that allows the autoproducer consumption to be split by specific end-use and therefore, autoproducers are shown as a separate item (Unallocated Autoproducers).

SI.SPR.PC40.ZG, The growth rate in the welfare aggregate of the bottom 40% is computed as the annualized average growth rate in per capita real consumption or income of the bottom 40% of the population in the income distribution in a country from household surveys over a roughly 5-year period. Mean per capita real consumption or income is measured at 2011 and 2005 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) using the PovcalNet (http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet). For some countries means are not reported due to grouped and/or confidential data. The annualized growth rate is computed as (Mean in final year/Mean in initial year)^(1/(Final year - Initial year)) - 1. The reference year is the year in which the underlying household survey data was collected. In cases where the data collection period bridged two calendar years, the first year in which data were collected is reported. The final year refers to the most recent survey available between 2010 and 2014. The initial year refers to the nearest survey collected 5 years before the most recent survey available, only surveys collected between 3 and 7 years before the most recent survey are considered. Growth rates for four countries � Bangladesh, Cambodia, Jordan, and Lao PDR � are based on survey means of 2005 PPP$. This is due to the large deviations in the rate of change in PPP factors relative to the rate of change in domestic consumer price indexes. See Box 1.1 in the Global Monitoring Report 2015/2016 (http://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/global-monitoring-report) for a detailed explanation.

SM.POP.TOTL, International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available. A model was used to estimate migrants for countries that had no data.

ST.INT.ARVL, International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling.

Let's analyze the results of each of these, separated by major region.

Net forest depletion is the product of the rents derived by harvesting timber and the excess amount of wood production over the growth rate in a given year. This is expressed in terms of money; a positive value means that a region could be receiving savings at the expense of decreasing their natural forest resources. In the last 45 years, both South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have had by far the highest amount of depletion (we'll look at individual countries later).

Net mineral depletion is the ratio of the value of current mineral reserves over the remaining lifetime (sidenote: I don't understand how this can be a monetary value unless it's looking at the value of the remaining lifetime, not the length. Metadata doesn't explain this sufficiently.) The regions with the highest mineral depletion in the present are Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and East Asia & Pacific. There are some interesting commonalities among all regions; there was a global nadir around the year 2000, and then a significant rise with a sharp dip around 2008. I'd conjecture that this is related to the 2008 global recession.

Net energy depletion is also the ratio of the current amount of resources to the remaining lifetime (caveats still apply), but covering coal, crude oil, and natural gas. The percentage of gross national income for energy over all regions is roughly a factor of 10 higher than for forest or mineral, reaching as high as 20%. In this case, the Middle East & North Africa dominate in every year out of the last 45. Trends are similar for all regions, including higher depletion in the 1970s and early 1980s and a similar sharp drop around 2008.

Israel     average is 0.322
Jordan     average is 0.080
Malta      average is 0.000
Morocco    average is 0.037

On the other end of the scale, four countries (Israel, Malta, Jordan, Morocco) are currently at essentially zero net energy depletion (all less than 0.15% of GNI) and historically always have been, with the exception of a brief spike for Israel around the year 1980. A couple of these countries are outliers with respect to the group; Malta is a Mediterranean island and a member of the EU/Eurozone, while Israel is the only Jewish-majority state and has famously strained relations with the majority of the other countries in this group. It's not as clear why Jordan and Morocco are much lower, but neither is a large oil producer or OPEC member.

So, the question I'd like to try and tackle - are countries with a rising rate of energy depletion focusing on other areas that can offset a finite amount of natural resources?

I'll pick a couple areas I think they could invest in:

  • tourism
  • research and development
  • education

In [402]:
# Tourism

tourism_code = "ST.INT.RCPT.XP.ZS"

# Plot tourism income vs energy depletion for Oman

fig,axarr = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize=(14,6))
energy_depleting = ["Bahrain","Oman","Qatar"]
energy_nondepleting = ["Jordan","Israel","Malta"]
for ax,clist in zip(axarr.ravel(),(energy_depleting,energy_nondepleting)):

    d = data[(data['Indicator Code'] == tourism_code) & 
             (data['Country Name'].isin(clist))]

    d.index = d['Country Name']
    dt = d[d.columns[4:]].T

    dt.plot(ax=ax,legend=True,fontsize=14)
    ax.set_ylabel("International tourism receipts [% of GNI]",fontsize=10)
    ax.legend(fontsize=10,loc='upper left')
    ax.set_ylim(0,40);


There's a huge overall gap between the two classes; countries with the highest energy depletion have less than 15% of their GNI from tourism. For Qatar, it's rising sharply (with only a few years of data), which might indicate diversification in the face of a pending energy crisis. The development of Doha as an airline hub and rapidly expanding city would support that.

For countries with low energy depletion, tourism is a much higher fraction. Jordan is the highest and still increasing (maybe for sites like Petra). Malta's tourism income has taken a massive fall, which is very odd; Israel dropped around 2000, but has been holding steady.


In [405]:
# Research

research_code = "GB.XPD.RSDV.GD.ZS"

# Plot tourism income vs energy depletion for Oman

fig,axarr = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize=(14,6))

for ax,clist in zip(axarr.ravel(),(energy_depleting,energy_nondepleting)):

    d = data[(data['Indicator Code'] == research_code) & 
             (data['Country Name'].isin(clist))]

    d.index = d['Country Name']
    dt = d[d.columns[4:]].T

    dt.plot(ax=ax,legend=True,fontsize=14)
    ax.set_ylabel("Expenditures for research & development [% of GNI]",fontsize=10)
    ax.legend(fontsize=10,loc='upper left')
    ax.set_ylim(0,7);


The top energy-depleting companies have virtually no significant money spent on R&D, interestingly (seems like a bad move). Israel has a thriving output, Malta less so. No data on Jordan.


In [410]:
# Education

education_code = "NY.ADJ.AEDU.GN.ZS"

# Plot tourism income vs energy depletion for Oman

fig,axarr = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize=(14,6))

for ax,clist in zip(axarr.ravel(),(energy_depleting,energy_nondepleting)):

    d = data[(data['Indicator Code'] == education_code) & 
             (data['Country Name'].isin(clist))]

    d.index = d['Country Name']
    dt = d[d.columns[4:]].T

    dt.plot(ax=ax,legend=True,fontsize=14)
    ax.set_ylabel("Expenditures for education [% of GNI]",fontsize=12)
    ax.legend(fontsize=10,loc='upper left')
    ax.set_ylim(0,10);


More varied story here: energy-depleting countries have fewer data, but Qatar is essentially flat and Bahrain dropping, although Oman appears to be on the rise. The non-energy depleting countries are slightly higher on average, but only by ~50%. Malta is rising again after a decade-long low point.

I need to end it here and focus on other things now. I didn't quite get where I wanted with this data challenge; I wanted to see if I could build a model for other countries facing similar energy depletion concerns who would be good candidates to reinvest in the areas I highlighted above. I didn't end up having the time, but there are a couple potential issues: the metadata for how energy depletion is measured still isn't completely clear to me. More importantly, there isn't a particularly strong correlation between energy depletion and the factors I looked at.

I want to develop a couple better metrics (ie, total amount and rate of change in a specific recent time period) for these data and then build a model on top of that. Hopefully will come back to this at some point. -KW
