Bank of England is REALLY INTO data visualization
To publicise the launch of a more open research agenda, the Bank of England is offering a £5,000 prize to the best data visualisation using one (or more) of six datasets it has added to its website.
Of course, potential entrants could be keeping their ideas top secret, but by far the dataset attracting most initial interest was the three centuries of macroeconomic research data, which makes a whole treasure trove of long run data – such as wages and prices from 1661 to 2012 – available to the general public.
