Dataset Overview

This dataset has been sourced from the US Treasury Department (USTD), and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). These sources contain data generated from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis and the US Census. The data sources cover areas of business and finance, consumer and producer price indexes, population income and employment rates, rates of exchange, national GDP, and various interest rates. The nature of this dataset is a comparison of interest rates of treasury bonds in the US (source: USTD) and consumer price index of popular goods (source: BLS). Users can compare the cost over time of popular food items to the interest rates of economic markers.

Dataset time: range 2014-1 : 2023-12 Dataset size: 33 columns (US Treasury data and Commodities) and 122 rows (interest rates and prices)

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Group 1 utilized documentation found on USTD’s and BLS’s API user guides to explore complementary and relevant data. Once we understood the nature of available data, we discussed potential uses for our dataset. We were guided by availability, with a preference for open-source data, although other avenues were explored.

Methods for preprocessing the data: Data were generated from collected data at the USTD, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the BLS, and the US Census. By using data generated with privacy and accessibility in mind, we minimized preprocessing around these issues. The most important preprocessing we had to do was to ensure timeframes between data were of comparable periods: for example, we initially included data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), but ultimately abandoned due to time period inconsistencies when compared to the USTD and the BLS data. We parsed the returned JSON file from the API requests, converted it to a pandas dataframe, flattened the data fields, and determined what dates were common among the two sources. We then merged the dataframes from multiple endpoints into one cohesive dataframe based on shared month and year values. Once merged we replaced empty fields with -1 to differentiate between absent data and data with a zero value. We eliminated series which were missing more than half of their data points within the given timeframe.

Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Data were sampled for logic errors and missing values. Data from the BLS required significant ‘nan’ fields to be replaced with zeros, which led us to filtering the series we included to maximize usability. Beyond this preprocessing, we performed logic checks and inspected data for readability.

Limitations: Our data sources contained more data related to our dataset than we could justify including in our collection process. We chose the most accessible and revealing combination of data, however it only represents a sampling of larger data.

Challenges in Data Collection: Understanding what data would provide the most useful dataset to the most users was the most challenging aspect of creating this dataset. The disparities in timescales...

Food prices increased at the fastest pace in more than two decades from July 2021 to July 2022. We show that this increase has not been driven by commodity prices but by an increase in consumer spending on food at home and increases in costs along the supply chain. Our results suggest that food inflation could ease if consumers shift more purchases back to food service establishments and if costs in food processing and marketing abate. Conversely, food inflation could remain high if broader measures of inflation persist.
