The Globalization Ledger™ offers a comprehensive analysis of global economic integration in 34 countries that comprise more than three-quarters of the world's gross domestic product (GDP). Using a unique statistical gauge, the study ranks countries based upon the scope and pace of their integration with the world economy, then analyzes how they have fared against a range of social and economic indicators, including political freedom, air and water pollution, and rates of economic growth. By quantifying these abstract ideas, the study helps to illuminate important policy questions related to globalization in as empirical and non-ideological way as possible.
