In MatthewSmith430/ITNr: Analysis of the International Trade Network

ITN - Exports vs Imports Plot

Description

The following function produces a plot showing imports (in degree) vs exports (out degree). This allows us to identify whether in the ITN, countries that export high levels also import high levels. The plot can be produced for either weighted or binary import and export ties.

Usage

ITNimvex(gs, weighted)

Arguments

gs	International Trade Network - igraph object
weighted	TRUE - plot import strength vs export strength. FALSE - Import count Vs export count

Value

Imports Vs Exports Plot

Examples

require(igraph)

##Create random International Trade Network (igraph object)
ITN<-erdos.renyi.game(75,0.05,directed = TRUE)

##Add edge weights
E(ITN)$weight<-runif(ecount(ITN), 0, 1)

##Plot binary import vs exports
imvex_plot<-ITNimvex(ITN,FALSE)
