Abstract

Economic statistics such as GDP, consumer prices, balance of payments, and unemployment rates are regularly measured over time. One of the best way to understand economic statistics is to visualize economic statistics as a picture. This makes it easier to grasp patterns of economic statistics and to communicate with users. The web technologies and the visualization tools make it possible to create dynamic and interactive visualization of economic statistics. Statistics Korea and the Bank of Korea provide various data visualization relating to official statistics such as infographics and dynamic charts. This paper presents an overview of visualization of Statistics Korea and the Bank of Korea. It also discusses a future direction to explore the visualization of Korean economic statistics.

GDP, 소비자물가, 국세수지, 실업률 등 경제통계는 시간에 따라 주기적으로 측정되고 있다. 또한 경제통계는 산업, 상품, 지역 등의 분류에 따라 측정된다. 우리의 관심은 경제통계가 시간에 따라 어떤 패턴으로 움직이고, 현시점에서 경제통계는 어떻게 구성되어 있으며, 다른 나라 또는 지역과는 어떤 차이가 있는지 살펴보는 것이다. 통계청, 한국은행 등 통계작성 기관은 보도자료와 웹 등에서 경제통계를 시각화하여 경제통계에 대한 이용자 측면의 편의성을 높이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 통계청, 한국은행의 경제통계 시각화를 검토 정리한 후 언론 등의 경제통계 시각화 결과를 참고하여 향후 경제통계 시각화의 과제를 정리하였다.
