[edit] Criteria
The Sovereign Wikirating Index (SWI) uses the following five criteria (with weights):
- Public debt (in % of the GDP) — 50% weight
- Account balance (in % of the GDP) — 20% weight
- GDP growth rate — 10% weight
- Inflation rate — 10% weight
- Unemployment rate — 10% weight
The resulting value is adjusted by multiplying it with a Scaling factor, which is composed by the Human Development Index (HDI)[1] (60% weight), the Corruption Perceptions Index[2] (20% weight) and the Political Instability Index[3] (20% weight).
[edit] Calculations
Each criterium is calibrated with respect to the relative minimum and maximum value of all countries. For some criterion a threshold value is defined in order to avoid distorted values. The calculated values are done with a spreadsheet (wr_swi_method+data_2011-09-26.xls).
