The KOF Index of Globalization measures the three main dimensions of globalization:

  • economic
  • social
  • and political.

In addition to three indices measuring these dimensions, we calculate an overall index of globalization and sub-indices referring to

  • actual economic flows
  • economic restrictions
  • data on information flows
  • data on personal contact
  • and data on cultural proximity.

Data are available on a yearly basis for 122 countries over the period 1970 - 2005

  • economic
    • actual economic flows
    • economic restrictions
  • social
    • data on information flows
    • data on personal contact
    • data on cultural proximity
  • political
