Subject: Seeking Graphs for Economics Assignment
Hello everyone!
I’m currently working on an assignment that requires me to analyze the changing patterns and trends resulting from the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA). I’ve decided to focus on two key areas: the impact on Australian consumers and the impact on Australian exporters.
To support my evaluation on consumer effects, I’d like to include the following visual data:
- Share of Chinese Imports in Australian Consumer Markets
-
A pie chart or bar graph illustrating the percentage of consumer goods imported from China over time would effectively showcase Australia’s reliance on Chinese products.
-
Australian Consumer Spending on Imported Goods
- An increase in overall consumer spending on imports could suggest that consumers are benefiting from lower prices.
- I’m interested in examining household expenditure data on imported goods before and after the implementation of ChAFTA.
Unfortunately, I’m having trouble finding relevant graphs or tables to include in my analysis. If anyone has access to these kinds of visuals or knows where I might find them, I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thank you!
It sounds like you’re working on a very interesting assignment! Here are some suggestions for finding graphs and data relevant to your criteria on the impact of ChAFTA (China-Australia Free Trade Agreement) on Australian consumers and exporters:
Website: ABS
Website: TIQ
Website: DFAT
Annual Reports of Specific Industries: Look for sector-specific reports that may highlight trends in consumer goods. Industry associations often publish statistical data that can provide insight into Chinese imports in particular sectors.
Academic Journals and Research Articles: Websites like Google Scholar can help you find academic papers that analyze the impact of ChAFTA on Australian markets. Some studies may include graphs relevant to consumer spending and trade patterns.
Statistics and Data Visualization Websites: Websites like Statista may have ready-made graphs and statistics on import trends from China into Australia, including consumer goods.
Local Libraries or University Libraries: Many libraries offer access to databases or even physical copies of economic reports. If you are affiliated with a university, they may provide access to specialized databases for economic data.
To create your own visual representations, you could also consider using data from these sources to construct your own graphs using software like Excel or Google Sheets. Good luck with your assignment, and don’t hesitate to ask if you need more specific advice!
