In zalmquist/networkdata: Lin Freeman's Network Data Collection

Description

trade: Five 24 by 24 Matrices

BACKGROUND These data were selected by Wasserman and Faust (1994) from a list of 63 countries given by Smith and White (1988). The selection was intended to be a representative sample of countries which spanned the globe physically, economically and politically and was used by them in their network analysis book. The data records interaction of the countries with respect to trade of four goods, namely:manufactured goods, food and live animals, crude materials (not food) and minerals and fuels. The final matrix records exchange of diplomats between the countries. All trade (including the diplomats) is from the row to the column.
