The correlation analysis used data mining with Python and Python packages. International data over the time period from 1998 to 2016 are selected.

Because of availability of the data, 22 countries are chosen as the objects -- Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania.
