About
This collection provides critical insights into regional stability by merging two distinct yet interconnected areas of study: international trade dynamics and internal population movements. The trade component focuses on Israel's involvement in global commerce, drawing on data from the Transparency in Trade (TiT) Initiative, which supports policy transparency vital for economic advancement and poverty alleviation. In contrast, the second component tracks conflict and disaster-induced internal displacements (IDP flows) within the State of Palestine, offering event-based provisional data essential for monitoring immediate humanitarian needs and informing crisis management strategies. The dataset allows users to analyse both economic participation and the consequences of regional instability.
Columns
The data includes 24 columns, featuring metrics related to both economic indicators and displacement events:
- Country Name insrael, Country ISO3: Identifiers for Israel (ISR).
- Year: Time range for trade data, spanning 1960 up to 2023.
- Indicator Name, Indicator Code: Detailed descriptions and codes for various trade statistics (e.g., Trade in services (% of GDP)).
- Value finaly israel: The measured metric value for the trade indicator.
- id Palestine numbers, figure: Statistical metrics and the recorded number for displacement counts, with figures reaching up to 1.33 million.
- country, iso3: Identifiers for the State of Palestine (PSE) for displacement records.
- latitude, longitude, centroid: Geographical coordinates associated with displacement events.
- displacement_type: Indicates the cause of displacement, such as Conflict.
- displacement_date, displacement_start_date, displacement_end_date: Time markers for the movements.
- event_name: Description of the conflict or disaster event (e.g., Palestine: International armed conflict (IAC)).
Distribution
The information is generally provided in a data file format, usually CSV. The data product contains 5,939 valid records across its 24 available columns. The expected frequency for updating this data is annually.
Usage
This data is ideally suited for academic research and policy formulation related to international development and conflict monitoring. Potential applications include:
- Trade Analysis: Assessing the effectiveness of trade policies and market accessibility for developing nations.
- Economic Modelling: Researching drivers of economic growth and poverty alleviation linked to international trade.
- Humanitarian Response: Visualising and tracking population movements for rapid response and resource allocation.
- Conflict Studies: Analysing the scale and frequency of population displacements caused by armed conflict and instability.
- Technological Applications: Useful for Data Visualization, Deep Learning, and analysis on Social Networks.
Coverage
The data focuses geographically on Israel (trade indicators) and the State of Palestine (internal displacement). The trade data provides historical coverage ranging from 1960 through to 2023. The internal displacement records reflect immediate crisis monitoring, offering event-based assessments that primarily cover a recent 180-day period. The displacement data monitors Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), defined as individuals forced to flee their homes but remaining within their country’s borders.
