This place needs to get less scriptural and more visual! I've started this thread so people can post up their favourite economic graphs and charts.

One of mine is the following real GDP growth chart from the ESRI's website:

http://www.esri.ie/irish_economy/

To me it illustrates the astonishing and transformative experience our economy has experienced. It is the Celtic Tiger on a bar chart.

I added a .png extension to your address.

PostSubject: Yep, THAT graph again   The Lovely Graph Thread EmptyMon Mar 24, 2008 4:25 am

This one I came across last October which looking for stuff on petrol consumption. I think it's still very alarming though I've looked at it and posted many times and places since. To me it simply proves that the States has such a dependency on oil that weaning themselves off their addiction to it (or not) will be pre-eminent in the story of the near future.

You're the man I wanted! How the hell did you get those ESRI graphs to show up, like you did on the p.ie thread of many moons ago? They're all on feckin' internal for me and I can't put the image up as an image, the most I can do is link it with a URL. I would like it to be visual, not textual!

On topic, that graph is fascinating. I've never met an Economist chart which hasn't made me stop and think. They're salutory viewing.

On your internal graph I guessed at the image extension - .png. Yes a graph or a map does it for me too. And a spreadsheet to an extent. The www.worldmapper.org maps were great for information - remember them? A bit of a twist on the pie charts. Charts can contain a whole heap of information at one glance... very handy.

Er, that looks to me like the Celtic Tiger ran from 1995-2000 pretty much. It was a transformative burst alright, but it doesn't exactly disprove the claim that we've been living on Greenspan's credit pump since then.

Well, if you were to over-lay the Fed's interest rate chart on this, it would. Interest rates were 4-6% from 1999 to 2000 when wwe experienced our highest growth. Interest rates were reduced to 1-2% through 2003 and 2004, our weakest years of economic expansion. If anything, the expansionary instincts of Greenspan reduced our rate of economic growth.

Anyway, I'd like to see your favourite graph, ibis. I'm sure you have lots of good ones.

The Chinese probably get a lot more bang for their buck though, would I be right?

WorldMapper, *sigh*, is there anything they can't map? They're fantastic. The maps say so much more than raw basic tables of figures.

I'm sort of missing the point of a graph over time though by putting the worldmapper maps there ... I'll find something appropriate eventually.

I've taught myself how to lift those internal graphs off ESRI etc. as well. You right-click on the pic, click "Properties", copy the URL/HTML line of alphanumeric text and paste it here enclosed in [img][/img] tags. My TQ went up another point! Yay!

It's a graph which is intriguing enough to be included in any thread. I'd like to see your more economics-focused graphs. That one is good.

Even if you allow for the fact that the graph doesnt show how GDP has grown over the 500 years I still find it quite interesting.

Here's a very worthy addition to this thread, and yes, it's from the Economist! The capo di tutti capi of mass media measurers!

In my opinion, the graph below is the best chart of an asset bubble on the web at this moment in time:

I've resurrected this thread for an amazing graph the Economist has on its website of the cost of robotic machines relative to labour costs, it seems that people are a rip off for manufacturers:

Ard Taoiseach - have you got the key to that graph? it is very interesting. Does it allow one to compare labour costs with robotic costs per hour?
