KOF Index of Globalization - Evaluation
Globalization is complex

Regularly collected data?

Does the possession of a television set make a household more
globalized?

Is a country that is proactive in volunteering troops for UN missions
more globalized or are the reasons more complex?

When calculating the index economic globalization is weighted at
37%, social globalization at 39% and political globalization at 25%
- why not a third each?

Which do you think is the ‘weakest’ data set?
