NUTS-2 regions are statistical subnational regions (often provinces), mainly for the EU and UK [1].
NUTS hierarchy (from [1]) |
In [2] we can find mapping information in the form of Shapefiles[3] and related formats. I used the GeoJSON[4] format, and created a Python notebook script to extract a GAMS set from that file. The file is reproduced in the appendix below. The NUTS-2 codes form the set elements, and the name is stored as explanatory text. There is an option to generate Latin names instead of using the native alphabet. The Latin names are also inside the geojson file. E.g. we have:
EL65 'Πελοπόννησος'
which is in the Greek alphabet. Using the Latin name, this would look like:
EL65 'Peloponnisos'
I like to have this set available for use in a GAMS model, so we don't have to guess what the plottable regions are. Furthermore, we can use this set as a domain, so GAMS will check we don't use an unknown region. The include file is written using UTF-8 encoding to allow accurate representation of the region names. In GAMS, we can use unicode string only for set elements and explanatory text. Programming languages like Python and Julia allow unicode identifiers, but GAMS does not.
To make a map, I generate from GAMS an HTML document that uses the d3 Javascript library [5]. Using random values:
a demo map looks like:
The map is interactive. Hovering the mouse cursor over a region gives more information:
Conclusion
This is a simple tool to generate maps from GAMS model results. It is useful to produce quick visualizations. I have used this approach also for other projects, using different maps.
