This project is about answering a single (yet quite big and complex) question: how important is Economic Freedom in predicting prosperity?

Along the way, we'll answer other questions, like:

• What's a good proxy for the vague term 'Prosperity'?
• how does each aspect of Economic Freedom correlate with prosperity?
• Does Economic Freedom (or prosperity) increase inequality?
• Is it possible to (partially) explain future growth with current Economic Freedom metrics?

• Initial Data Acquisition & Cleaning
• Basic Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
• Time Slider Analysis (to poke at causality explanation)
• Predictive Model (using GradientBoostingRegressor) to project GDP per Capita, given certain features
  • Interactive Plot on Feature Importance
