ADB Kazakhstan report replication scripts

This repository contains scripts for the charts in a trade analysis report of Kazakhstan for the Asian Development Bank. Each chart is a triplet of files sharing a common file name: the chart itself, saved as a PDF in the folder figures; a CSV file containing its underlying data, saved in data/final; and an R script that produces the two, saved in codes.

Each R script is organized into three sections.

1. Setup. The needed R libraries are loaded and key parameters are defined.
2. Data. The raw data is loaded and processed to extract the information needed for the chart. This is saved as a CSV file.
3. Plot. The CSV file is loaded and (if necessary) wrangled further. The data is then plotted using the ggplot2 library.

The Data section draws from: (1) the outputs of my other repos adb-mrio and baci, (2) the outputs of the Python scripts in the codes folder, and (3) other publicly available datasets. The last are uploaded in data/raw.

In principle, everything needed to replicate a chart is found in its CSV file, which means the Data section of the script can be skipped entirely.
