#BigData sources requires constant recording with a meaningful sampling. We try to understand the #MusicEconomy with creating indexes similar to the Dow Jones or to understand how volumes and prices develop on #musicstreaming services. #OpenData #ComputationalAntitrust #Rbloggers

"... there is an immensely rich, largely unexplored source of information in unstructured textual data that would be hugely useful for applied microeconomic works ... a large corpus of administrative and court decisions that relate to businesses" #OpenData economy.dataobservatory.eu/post/2021-06-0…

If #OpenData is the new gold, why even those who release fail to reuse it? We created an open collaboration of data curators and developers to dig into novel open data sources and/or increase the usability of existing ones. #dataisgold #NoRush economy.dataobservatory.eu/post/2021-06-1…

Working with regional stats offers a lot more detail than national stats, but very challenging. Regional boundaries are changing hundreds of times every year. rOpenGov regions 0.1.8 is on #CRAN, and we Economy Data Observatory builds an open API around it. #OpenGov regions.dataobservatory.eu

Many people ask if we can really add value to free data that can be downloaded from the Internet by anybody? Free, public data usually requires a lot of work to become really valuable. To start with, it's not always easy to find. #opendata #climatechange greendeal.dataobservatory.eu/post/2021-11-0…

Regional publications are useful for users of statistics to get an overview of a policy field and compare data with other countries. The Nordic Council of Ministers Nordic Co-operation showed Statistics Through Eastern Partnership STEP how this is done in the Nordic region NordicStatisticsDatabase #nordicstatistics

Public data sources are often plagued with missng values. Naively you may think that you can ignore them, but think twice: we have a much better solution that works better with models, visualizations and AI. #opendata #dataquality #imputation economy.dataobservatory.eu/post/2021-11-0…

Imagine if you could compare data easily from surveys from all European countries, languages, maybe even from other continents, from different years? If you could work with a sample of not only n=1000, n=4000 but n=100,000? greendeal.dataobservatory.eu/post/2021-11-1… #openscience #opendata
