We have discovered that the student version of SPSS won’t let us analyze the volume of data that we have. So, we are relying on Col. Sanborn to help us use department computers to analyze our data with the full version of SPSS. We have collected data for 50 African countries over a 13 year period (2003-2015), producing 650 total data points for each area of analysis. We have struggled to find good sources for much of our data. Data on Chinese FDI to African countries was extremely difficult to locate, until we finally stumbled upon a data set that had been compiled by the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies’s China-Africa Research Initiative. Finding data on yearly natural resource exports to China from African countries was also hard, as we were able to find data organized by country of origin and by year, but not by both simultaneously. We eventually had to go through and manually copy and paste the results from each year one at a time, which was a tedious and time-consuming process. Having professional sources of macro-data on which to draw would have made our project much easier.
