Disparities In Globalization Of The World Economies, Sudhanshu K. Mishra, Binod Kumar
Sudhanshu K Mishra
This paper constructs composite indices of globalization of 131 countries spread over the five continents and classified into World-I, World-II and World-III countries. KOF, the Business Cycle Research Institute in the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich is the source of data used in this study. The Composite Indices of Globalization have been computed by Pena’s method, which attributes the most desirable properties to the indices so constructed. On the basis of these indices, the paper investigates into the trends of globalization and disparities in globalization for a period of 11 years (1999-2009). Disparities have been obtained as the Gini’s …
Construction Of Pena’S Dp2-Based Ordinal Synthetic Indicator When Partial Indicators Are Rank Scores, Sudhanshu K. Mishra
Construction Of Pena’S Dp2-Based Ordinal Synthetic Indicator When Partial Indicators Are Rank Scores, Sudhanshu K. Mishra
Sudhanshu K Mishra
The present study devises a computational scheme (and develops a FORTRAN 77 computer program) that may be appropriate to construct Pena’s DP2 (ordinal) synthetic indicator (Z) from the partial indicators (X) all of which are ordinal (ranking scores). An attempt has also been made to empirically apply the method (and the computer program) to obtain an ordinal synthetic indicator from a given ordinal data set.
