It might be useful to show how to work with basic GIS data. We have an ArcGIS license at UBC, which might help.

This is used in geographic RD models, and others. An example:

  • 2 sets of addresses (businesses and people). Find the closest hospital, etc.
  • Consider getting google API code, and using google maps to compute commute distance.

Basic visualization?
