Analysis and visualizations of trends in the world's billionaire population from 1996 to 2016; completed as a personal project

Billionaires

• Billionaires1996-2014.dta is the dataset I used from researchers Caroline Freund and Sarah Oliver at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. You can find their working paper and the zip-file with all of their datasets here.

• Guide to Billionaires Characteristics Database.pdf is a data dictionary of the files provided by the researchers and the variable names.

• Billionaires.Rmd contains my code for the visualizations. It produces the HTML file Billionaires.html.
