A Textual Analysis of Economic Speeches on Agriculture: 1919 – 202

Conclusions about analysis methods

  • We see a significant rise in econometric methods over time. We see a moderate increase in discussion of environmental resource economics. We see a steep decrease in discussion of race-related agricultural labor.
  • BISG and GenderGuesser predicted poorly with older data. Therefore, we looked at recent data when using these programs
  • We observe an increase in predicted Asian/Pacific Islander authors from 2000-2022 and a stagnation of women authors.
  • For future study, we would like to perform more in-depth analysis of topics and the demographic relationships with topics. Another point of study is a more in-depth comparison between LDA and BERTopic.
