2.1.3
6c96e29

2.1.3 marks one major and a bunch of minor updates for the OEC. First off, I'm happy to write that we now have 2012 data available! Yup, it's there and the default when clicking on the explore or profile pages. For the HS data the source continues to be the amazing BACI database created by the folks at CEPII. And the SITC data comes from the raw COMTRADE database after doing some basic cleaning and symmetrizing of the data. A note of congratulations is certainly in order for the COMTRADE team as they've compeltely revamped their data explorer and even added a new public API! (both of which are still in beta for the time being). Having worked with this particular world trade dataset for more or less the past 4 years it is a huge accomplishment to see these changes on the COMTRADE end and of course we will keep pushing the OEC forward with new visualizations and UI improvements.

Other improvements:

  • New D3plus UI elements (dropdowns and buttons)
  • Combined East & West German data pre 1990 to enable the German data timeline to go back to 1962
  • Redirect users looking for Belgium or Luxembourg data in HS to the Belgium-Luxembourg combined data
  • Removed "all years" button from embedded visualizations for simplicity and larger space allocation
