I am pleased to share the newly-released 2022 edition of the DHL Global Connectedness Index report, which I co-authored with Caroline R. Bastian, along with a corresponding dataset. The report and dataset are available at https://stern.nyu.edu/gci and https://dhl.com/gci.  

This year's report scores and ranks 171 countries according to the depth (relative to domestic activity) and breadth (geographic reach) of their international trade, capital, information, and people flows. The scores and ranks are available in CSV and Excel format in the data files that accompany the report. The report also includes an analysis of recent developments in globalization focused on three main questions: (1) Are global flows still growing? (2) Are geopolitical tensions fracturing the world economy into rival blocs? (3) Is globalization giving way to regionalization?  

We have also updated the data in our NYU Stern Globalization Explorer online tool, available at https://globalization.stern.nyu.edu. This free online resource provides customizable maps based on international trade, capital, information, and people flows, with drill-downs into trade in specific categories of goods and services. It also facilitates a quantitative application of Pankaj Ghemawat's CAGE (Cultural, Administrative, Geographic, Economic) distance framework, using the same underlying dataset. 

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or suggestions about these materials. 

Best regards,

Steve
