We know the total potential category contribution, and we know that NZ has zero, so we can easily say what going from none to max would do for us. But they don't give enough background detail to back that stuff out. Unless I wanted to spend a day constructing an "Ikea per population" measure and try to use it to figure out how they ran that scoring. <br /><br />I emailed them Monday, let the post sit on Tuesday, hit publish button this morning. Not sure if I'll hear back.Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-42894258098921623572012-03-21T14:50:38.537+13:002012-03-21T14:50:38.537+13:00Did you look at the impact of just one Ikea on the...Did you look at the impact of just one Ikea on the ranking? If it is very sensitive, then we've got a bulky good/small population issue, too.<br />I'm interested to hear what you find about trade restrictions. I noticed in another ranking (on environment) that isolated island ecosystems (NZ, Madagascar) were disadvantaged by the way the ranking was calculated. If SPS measures are used, then the same thing could be happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
