Analyzing Government Spending: Insights from IMF Data on Top Economies (Part 1)

Government spending plays a crucial role in shaping a nation’s economy, social welfare, and overall development. In this series of articles, we dive deep into the International Monetary Fund (IMF) dataset on government expenditures by function, focusing on the 17 largest economies worldwide. This analysis provides a clear picture of how these countries allocate their budgets across various sectors, offering valuable insights for economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in global financial trends.

Analysis of Global Pandemic and Epidemic Outbreaks (1996-2025) Data: Key Patterns, Trends, Insights

Key insights at a glance

Between 1996 and 2025, global outbreak patterns show three clear signals. First, COVID-19 and influenza dominate outbreak counts across nearly all regions, proving that highly transmissible respiratory diseases remain the biggest global threat. Second, Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo, experiences a disproportionately high number of outbreaks, influenced by structural and environmental factors. Third, outbreak counts surged dramatically after 2020 and have remained high, suggesting either improved surveillance after COVID-19, a real increase in outbreaks, or both. Together, these insights highlight the urgent need for continuous global surveillance, cross-border cooperation, and attention to social and environmental drivers of disease.

This article explores those findings in detail using the Global Pandemic and Epidemic-Prone Disease Outbreaks dataset.

Together, the top five countries Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Peru, and Colombia contain about 65 percent of the world’s humid tropical primary forest and contribute around 60 percent of total loss.

When the Sky Explodes: What NASA’s Fireball Data Tells Us About Meteors, Earth, and Cosmic Energy

On February 15, 2013, a blinding flash streaked across the morning sky above Chelyabinsk, Russia. Windows shattered, people were knocked off their feet, and shockwaves rattled buildings across the Ural region. That wasn’t a nuclear test — it was a meteor, a rock from space disintegrating in Earth’s atmosphere.

Mass Shootings in the United States: An Analysis of 2014–2025 Data

Mass shootings remain one of the most pressing issues in the United States today. Public debates often highlight specific incidents, especially school shootings or high-profile cases, but less attention is given to the broader patterns across the country. To better understand the scope and characteristics of this crisis, I analyzed data from the Gun Violence Data Hub covering the period from January 2014 to August 2025.
