A recap of the #30DayChartChallenge 2026. Managed to make 18 visualizations, mostly with own #Stata packages. Almost all got updates and will releasing these soon. A GitHub repo or Guide with data+code incoming soon! Thank you all for the support!
#30DayChartChallenge 2026, Day29: Monochrome. The ridgeline plot shows the distribution of bank lending interest rates for house loans in #Austria. The lucky ones bought theirs in 2021. The unlucky ones in 2024. Still conditions were worse in 2008. #dataviz #stataviz
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day27: Animation. Monthly fuel prices in European countries since 2020. Each country is indexed to its own fuel price in 2015 (2015 = 100). Interactive dashboard made with #Flourish: public.flourish.studio/visualisatio... #dataviz
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day26: Trend. This figure shows weekly deaths in Austria from 2000-2024. The COVID-19 phase (2020–2022) stands out with high and prolonged spikes in deaths. #dataviz #stataviz
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day25: Space. Austria has an area of 83,879 sq km. 64% is woodland, 28% is cropland, and 8% is buildup area. The rest are wetlands. Cereals occupy a bit over 17%, and vineyards are ~1% of total area. #dataviz
#30DayChartChallenge Day21: Historical The figure shows that sovereign external debt has become increasingly dollarized since the 1970s, with a growing share of the largest public debt stocks denominated in U.S. dollars. Data is from the World Bank. #dataviz
#30DayChartChallenge Day20: Evolution. A 30-year evolution of global primary energy consumption by source. Renewables have grown, but less than non-renewables. Nuclear remains stagnant. #dataviz #stataviz
New #MacroCritical post on #Medium in now up: "Petro-Dollars: How Oil Shapes Global Finance" medium.com/macrocritica... This article explores how oil exports, dollar demand, and global capital flows are interconnected, and how they shape the global financial system.
#30DayChartChallenge 2026: Day17: Remake and Day13: Ecosystems The figure shows 2001-2024 cumulative forest cover loss as a share of 2000 forest area by different drivers. Only countries with at least 10% of land as forest in 2000, and with at least 5% of cumulative forest losses are shown.
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day14: Trade. The arcplot shows sand trade by top 5 importing and top 5 exporting countries. In 2024 sand trade was around USD 2.5 billion. It is a raw material that is usually taken for granted but there is a shortage of it in quite some countries.
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day12: Flowing Data The latest OECD aid data shows a second year of decline in bilateral aid flows in real terms. Similar contractions have happened in the past usually around other major geopolitical events. #dataviz #OECD #DAC
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day11: Physical This graph shows the evolution of EU27’s trade in physical goods with the rest of the world (RoW) from 2002-2025. This graph can be broken down by specific physical goods categories and specific origin-destination countries. #dataviz #stataviz
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day10: Pop How does #Spotify classify #Billboard top100 pop songs? The bumpline chat shows classifications by the finest categories. The data is from #tidytuesday 2021 week 38 challenge.
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day9: Wealth. The figure shows the stock of gold reserves in tonnes held by central banks at the end of 2024. Larger circles represent regions. #dataviz #stataviz
#30DayChartChallenge 2026 Day8: Circular. Number of earths needed to sustain each country's lifestyle. A value greater than one is an ecological deficit implying that the ecological footprint of consumption exceeds the world's biocapacity.
