| Title | Investigating Hungarian Agricultural Subsidies Data |
| Summary | Agricultural subsidies are the biggest chunk of the budget of the European Union. The system has many flaws but the stakeholders are not motivated to change the status quo. The problem domain could be better understood by analyzing the data. Targeted investigation for politically exposed people has been conducted but it is not possible to do even simple data exploration across multiple years. I did the first steps to solve this by taking the raw data and applying extensive cleaning and data engineering techniques. I only used free tools and made the code available on github. I created various visualizations and did statistical analysis on the data. Even though the focus of the project was on the data engineering part I also built a few models using the cleaned agricultural subsidies and a small dataset about firm financials. |
