Capability focus

This repository belongs to the Research Methods Lab because the main signal is methodological: it shows spatial analysis and regional comparison applied to education-related outcomes.

Core capabilities represented here:

• Spatial econometrics.
• Education analytics.
• Regional development analysis.
• Geographic visualization.
• Applied economics research.

Repository contents

The repository includes a sequence of generated figure files and supporting project materials for education analysis across time.

Suggested future structure:

data/                  Input or processed education data
scripts/               R scripts for spatial analysis
figures/               Generated maps and visual outputs
reports/               Methodological notes and findings
README.md              Project overview and classification

Portfolio logic

This project makes the research-methods layer of the GitHub profile visible. It helps readers find spatial econometrics quickly, even if they are searching by method rather than by topic.
