I'm doctoral student at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. I want people to pursue opportunities and happiness and I believe entrepreneurship is one important way people can do that. My research interests include understanding (a) why some areas are more entrepreneurial than others, (b) what drives people to pursue entrepreneurship, and (c) how can policies foster effective and sustainable entrepreneurship. |

Good subject. Have you head about the world bank data available online (http://r-chart.blogspot.com/search/label/XML)? I did a few blogs on using R to scrape this data and another on parsing Google's listing of top sites.
I think your example was awesome!
