JRC Statistical Audit of the 2021 Global Attractiveness Index
Attractiveness is a crucial factor in the global scramble for talented people, investments and know-how. It is a prerequisite for competitiveness and it remains so also in the new challenging scenario depicted by the COVID-19 crisis. The European House – Ambrosetti has developed the Global Attractiveness Index (GAI) to provide countries with a tool to measure and benchmark a country’s attractiveness as determining element of its ability to be competitive and grow. The GAI – now at this sixth edition - builds on four attributes of attractiveness - Openness, Innovation, Efficiency, and Endowment - which are captured by 21 Key Performance Indicators, then aggregated into a single summary measure of attractiveness. The GAI 2021 ranks 148 countries which cover approximately 95% of the world’s population and 99% of Gross Domestic Product worldwide. This framework inevitably entails both conceptual and practical challenges. Conducted by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre, the statistical audit of the GAI 2021 edition aims at maximising the reliability and transparency of the index. This statistical quality check should enable policy analysts and researchers alike to draw more relevant and meaningful advice to improve or fully unleash countries' attractiveness potential.
