Erasmus exchange program
The data for 2022-03-08 come from the Erasmus+ exchange program. It allows students to travel to other countries. I decided to look at which countries received more students than they sent away. I used the sf and rnaturalearth packages for this one.
I wanted to help adjust for differences in the total number of students who travel each year, so I normalized by the total number of students before subtracting exports from imports.
