The KOF Index of Globalization is an index published by the Swiss Economic Institute that measures the economic, social, and political dimensions of globalization for over 200 countries annually since 1970. It defines globalization as networks connecting actors across continental distances through flows of people, ideas, goods, and capital. The index scores countries on a scale from 0-100 based on economic, political, and social globalization indicators like trade, capital flows, embassy presence, and cultural exchanges.
