This paper constructs composite indices of globalization of 131 countries spread over the five continents and … 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 …

In this paper we construct thirteen different types of composite indices by linear combination of indicator variables … sum of squared (and, alternatively, absolute) correlation coefficients of the composite indices with the constituent …, Campbell and modified Campbell. Composite indices have also been constructed by maximization of the minimal correlation. We …

investigate if numerical dominance of a community leads to socio-economic dominance. We have constructed two composite indices of …

Construction of (composite) indices by the PCA is very common, but this method has a preference for highly correlated …-evolved system. In this paper we consider three alternative indices that determine weights given to different constituent variables … on the principles different from the PCA. Two of the proposed indices, the one that maximizes the sum of absolute …

. We observe, therefore, that globalization index is moving well with the indices of socio-economic condition in the Asian …

This short note proposes working out of the standard errors of estimate of composite indices when they are constructed …
