## Preparation

You will need Python 3.6 or greater and dataflows library to run the script

To update the data run the process script locally:

# Run the script
python gold_price_flow.py
```

### Notes from the Source

General: 1 ounce of fine gold = 31.1034768g. Method of calculation:

* Since 1 April 1968, calculated from the daily morning fixing;
* From January 1950 to 21 March 1954, calculated using the Bank of England's gold purchasing price (1 ounce of fine = pound 12.40) in connection with the average exchange rate for the pound in New York (up to the end of 1952; source: Federal Reserve Bulletin) and, from January 1953, midpoint exchange rates for the US dollar in London (source: Financial Times (FT)).
* From 22 March 1954 to December 1959, calculated using the fixing price for gold bars of approx. 12 1/2 kg and 995/1000 fineness and over (so-called standard bars) according to data from Metallgesellschaft AG, Frankfurt am Main, in connection with the average midpoint exchange rates for the US dollar in London (source: FT).
* From January 1960 to 14 March 1968, average fixing price for standard bars as specified in the Bank of England's Quarterly Bulletin.
* On 15 March 1968, fixing price suspended. Gold market split into an official (reserved for central banks) and a free market as a result of the Washington Communique of 17 March 1968. Gold trading suspended from 18 to 29 March 1968.
* Sources for daily prices: April 1968 - March 1974: FT; April 1974 - December 1980: Samuel Montagu & Co. Ltd.; January 1981 - December 2005: FT; January 2006 - present: Reuters.
* Comment on 1968-03: Average from 1 to 14 March 1968.

Based on this we can see that the prices of gold increased over time but not linearly, since alot of world currencies depend on it there must have been control of it and as the inflation grew, the price of gold grew as well.

## Data

Data are fetched from multiple sources:

Official formal and short names (in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian) are from
[United Nations Protocol and Liaison Service](https://protocol.un.org/dgacm/pls/site.nsf/PermanentMissions.xsp)

Customary English short names are from
[Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) Project](https://github.com/unicode-cldr/cldr-localenames-full/blob/master/main/en/territories.json).

Note: CLDR shorter names "ZZ-alt-short" are used when available

ISO 3166 official short names (in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian) are from

Many other country codes are from
[statoids.com](http://www.statoids.com/wab.html)

Special thanks to Gwillim Law for his excellent
[statoids.com](http://www.statoids.com) site (some of the field descriptions
are excerpted from his site), which is more up-to-date than most similar
resources and is much easier to scrape than multiple Wikipedia pages.

Capital cities, languages, continents, TLDs, and geonameid are from [geonames.org](http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/countryInfo.txt)

EDGAR codes are from [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/edgarstatecodes.htm)


## Preparation

This package includes Python scripts to fetch current country information
from various data sources and output CSV of combined country code information.

CSV output is provided via the `in2csv` and `csvcut` utilities from [csvkit](http://github.com/onyxfish/csvkit)

NOTE/TODO: currently, preparation requires manual process to download and rename 6 CSV files from https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/

### data/country-codes.csv

Install requirements:

    pip install -r scripts/requirements.pip


Run GNU Make to generate data file:

    make country-codes.csv

Nevertheless, it should be noted that this material is ultimately sourced from
ISO and other standards bodies and their rights and licensing policies are somewhat
unclear. As this is a short, simple database of facts there is a strong argument
that no rights can subsist in this collection. However, ISO state on [their
site](http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes.htm):

> ISO makes the list of alpha-2 country codes available for internal use and

This carries the implication (though not spelled out) that other uses are not
permitted and that, therefore, there may be rights preventing further general
use and reuse.
