Workflow for generating the SLIIDERS-ECON dataset

This directory contains notebooks to generate the SLIIDERS-ECON dataset. The final output for future projections is a Zarr store containing socioeconomic variables binned by coastal segment, elevation slice, and Shared Socioeconomic Pathway.

The steps to produce the final output are as follows.

1. Use download-sliiders-econ-input-data.ipynb to download necessary datasets, including various country-level datasets and datasets such as including World Bank Intercomparison Project 2017 and construction cost index by Lincke and Hinkel (2021, Earth's Future).
2. Go to the directory country_level_ypk and follow the instructions in the README.md in that directory. The workflow in country_level_ypk cleans (and when necessary, imputes) various country-level socioeconomic variables.
3. Go to the directory exposure and follow the instructions in the README.md in that directory. The workflow in exposure generates current-day global exposure data by coastal segment, elevation, and other variables.
4. Use create-SLIIDERS-ECON.ipynb to combine disparate data sources to generate the final output.
