Project Title: Is GDP affected by Rainfall & Temperature Changes (over the course of 10 years)
Team Members: Emeka Obianyor Kiran Mundae Charles Robinson Nick Orewiler Sadie Barnett-Boudreau

We will further analyze the possible effects on the three classifications of GDP. Research Questions to Answer:
- How Temperature changes affect the GDP in the chosen countries • Look for discernable trends in GDP with respect to temperature fluctuations over a 10-year period.
- How Annual changes in Precipitation affect the GDP in the chosen countries • Look for discernable trends in GDP with respect to annual temperature over a 10-year period.
- How Weather affects GDP in Agricultural based economies • Analyze changes in temperature and/or precipitation for countries whose GDP is predominantly agricultural based, e.g., Suriname: 0.53%, Greenland: 0.57%, Singapore: 0.95%, and the Bahamas: 1.40%.
- How Weather affects GDP in Industrial based economies • Analyze changes in temperature and/or precipitation for countries whose GDP is predominantly industry based, e.g., Saudi Arabia: 44.2%, United Arab Emirates: 49.8%, Iraq: 51%, Qatar: 50.3%, Kuwait: 58.7%, Angola: 61.4%, Azerbaijan: 53.5%, Puerto Rico: 50.1%, Libya: 52.3%.
- How Weather affects GDP in Service based economies • Analyze changes in temperature and/or precipitation for countries whose GDP is predominantly service based, e.g., European Union: 70.9%, United States: 80%, United Kingdom: 79.2%, Hong Kong: 92.3%, Panama: 82%, Lebanon: 83%, Macau: 93.7%, Bermuda: 93.8%.
Data Sets to be Used:
RESTful API: http://restcountries.eu/ Countries by GDP Sector Composition: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_sector_composition Weather Data: https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/download-datahttps://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDP_RPCH@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD?year=2020 GDP Data: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD
Rough Breakdown of Tasks: Each team member will answer one of the five questions posed above. Additionally, we will all work together on API’s, merging/building the data sets in Jupyter Notebook, the powerpoint presentation, and final report.
