Lisbon Treaty Econ Analysis in R Worksheet

The assignment requires you to analyse data from the Irish Social Science Data Archive (Second Lisbon Referendum (October 2009). I’ll provide the given dataset by my university. You can find out more information about the data at this address – https://www.ucd.ie/issda/data/eureferendums/ A codebook for the data is available on my university page. This is the link to the codebook – https://moodle.gla.ac.uk/pluginfile.php/6086946/mod_resource/content/1/lisbon_treaty_codebook.htm . Let me know if it doesn’t opens. The assignment requires you to carry out a series of tasks. Think about why the question is being asked and what it would be useful to show from the data. There is no single correct answer to the questions. You should comment on the results you generate and explain to the reader what they show. In addition, you should comment on any analytical choices you make. Credit will be given to well thought out, well presented, and well explained output. You should spend time to make your work presentable. For example, charts and tables should be properly labelled i.e., no raw variable names, labels which clash and so on.

The assignment must be produced using R Markdown. You must submit both the Rmd file and the knitted html file. It must be possible to produce your final html file using only your Rmd file and the data supplied to you. Credit will not be awarded for Rmd files which are not accompanied by a successfully knitted version. Assignment must be written in English.

WORD COUNTS

The assignment should have no more than 1,000 words. This is a limit and not a target. Most of the work is in deciding what to show, processing the data, coding it, and providing a few sentences of interpretation. As such, you should not need many words.
To count words in an R Markdown document you can use this add in – https://github.com/benmarwick/wordcountaddin First, check you have the devtools package installed. If you are a Windows user, you may also have to install R Tools. Once this is done, you can run:
devtools::install_github(“benmarwick/wordcountaddin”, type = “source”, dependencies = TRUE)
You can then get a word count by clicking on the relevant option on the Addins menu in R Studio. Words are counted using two different methods. You can select either. If you have problems getting the add in to work, you can count using another method e.g., pasting the text into Microsoft Word.

ALL QUESTIONS NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED

1.What does the dataset refer to? Why was it collected? How was it collected? What was the context? 2.According to the data, how many people voted In Favour of the Treaty of Lisbon in the referendum held in October 2009, and how many voted against Against ? Present a table which shows numbers and percentages. Present an appropriate plot.

3. What was the average age of people who voted In Favour and people who voted Against. Plot the distribution of age for both the In Favour and Against voters on the same plot.

4. Plot the percentage of people voting In Favour and Against for each socio-economic class.

5. How did the proportion voting In Favour and Against vary by education level?

6. Using a plot, show how the proportion voting In Favour and Against varied by how much knowledge a person reported they had about the European Union. What does that pattern show?

7. Is there a relationship between how much knowledge a person thinks they have about the EU and whether they think Switzerland is a member of the EU? Show this using a plot and describe what, if any, relationship there is.

8. What grade do you think your work deserves? Write a few sentences explaining your reasoning. You can read about the possible grades and their descriptions here – I’ll attact this file containing grades and their description
