Transform GitHub repository data into economic insights and automated reports for research teams and policy analysts studying digital innovation patterns.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub API

Extract repository and contribution data

Use GitHub's REST API or GraphQL API to pull repository data, commit histories, contributor information, and project complexity metrics for specific countries or regions. Set up authentication and create queries to gather innovation indicators.

2

Python

Clean and structure the raw data

Write Python scripts using pandas to clean the GitHub data, remove duplicates, normalize country codes, calculate digital complexity scores, and structure the data for analysis. Export cleaned datasets as CSV files.

3

Microsoft Excel

Perform correlation analysis

Import the cleaned data into Excel and use built-in statistical functions to analyze correlations between GitHub activity metrics and economic indicators like GDP, inequality measures, and emissions data. Create pivot tables and charts.

4

Power BI

Generate automated research reports

Connect Power BI to your Excel analysis and create interactive dashboards showing digital complexity rankings, economic correlations, and trend visualizations. Set up automatic refresh schedules and export options for stakeholders.
