2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
Use of GIS to Interpret Global Economic Data Track: Modeling Author(s): Rebecca Basquez GIS is useful in interpreting economic data by assisting in viewing the relationship between neighboring countries. This project will involve the use of economic data (Cyclical Gross Domestic Product (CGDP), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Unemployment, and Long-term Interest Rate) to view the correlations that exist between global countries. By using cartographic relationships global data will be easier to interpret and illustrate. This research will demonstrate economic Spatial Autocorrelation and Cluster Membership. The results will be global economic cartographic correlation and cluster membership maps. This research will form a product for individuals interested in searching and analyzing economic data dynamically via an ArcIMS solution.
