I have to write a summary paper for a class I'm doing for my masters degree, and since the professor running the seminar this semester specializes in data visualization, the paper has to be related to that. Being the aspiring Marxist that I am, I figured international trade between countries (what commodities are being exported/imported, which countries are exporting to/importing from whom, what fraction of a country's imports/exports are of a specific commodity, etc.) would be a good choice. While I'm going to look for papers myself, I figured I would have a higher likelyhood finding someone into that stuff on Lemmygrad compared to other online spaces.
The OECD has some good sources for data and viz on trade, as well as many other topics related to global economics.

Just be aware that it's a liberal institution.
Thank you! The paper is more about the data visualization side of things, so I don't think the institution being lib is a big issue.
