1. Data availability (otherwise we would have had to invent them - not a good idea)
2. Closeness to the Sustainable Development structure as defined by Agenda 21.
Ideally, the indicators should be chosen through a democratic process involving societal actors of
many countries (this may happen in the future, if the necessary resources are made available by a
generous sponsor...).
Problem 2: Weighting
The current version attaches equal weight to each indicator, and this is in obvious contrast to
political reality - "life expectancy" is probably more important than "regulatory burden". Ideally, we
would like to establish weighting coefficients through surveys among experts and/or ordinary
citizens. So take the current "all issues are equally important" with care, but remember that (see P1
above) NOT including an indicator means giving it a weight of zero. Or, in other words, the current
focus on GDP as the lead indicator excludes most of our indicators from the agenda of decisionmakers.
Accordingly, the policy distortion is much more serious than the one incurred by, for
example, giving 7% to "Regulatory burden" instead of a "politically correct" 5.2%...
Problem 3: Data flaws
While GDP, inflation etc. are old and well-established indicators, many of the indicators in our test
set are experimental, new, untested, private initiatives, in short: less robust, especially for
Developing Countries. Ideally, we would like to attach an "error bar" to each of them, or at least a
"quality label" like the one in Eurostat's TEPI publication; but most of our sources do not supply
such information. Therefore: be aware that the data quality might differ, and use the Distribution
function to check whether the indicator message corresponds roughly with your expectations...
Miscellaneous
Design your own set
There are no limits to your creativity - design your own indicator set, according to your own
perception of political priorities... always within the constraints of the available database, of course.
First, go to Dashboard view (icon 3), right-click there, and choose "Design". Then follow the
instructions below.
Shuffling the indicators around
- Right-click into an indicator - the mouse cursor will become a box with a BIG question mark
inside, meaning this indicator has been selected for moving;
- Move the cursor between two other indicators and left-click.
Move the cursor over the toolbar to cancel the operation.
Weighting your indicator set
Move the mouse near the inner circle; the mouse cursor will become a plus-minus sign.
Left-click to increase the weight of an indicator, right-click to decrease it.
Hold Control and left-click to obtain a smooth distribution of weights; the first and last quarter of
the set will be the basis for smoothing.
Hold Control and Shift and left-click somewhere on the inner circle: a box will ask you if you want
to apply equal weights.
Note that design mode must be ON for changing weights, except if you type w= in the Open/close
box (see next para); you will be offered a line of the form w=12.5,12.5,12.5,12.5,12.5,12.5 etc. for
the active pane/index. Edit this string to define precise weights, which you might have obtained
through an expert-based Budget Allocation Process (see above).
Open/close 'find' box
<Country1/Country2 +Indicator> (Example: Japan/Fra+CO2).
Select country groups in the listbox on the right. You can right-click into the central index legend to
toggle between full/subset in Distribution+Scatterplot.
Note for developers: The subsets (EU, OECD, ...) are defined in ?:\db_circs\db_resrc\[this_set]\
defgroup.txt; you must restart the dashboard if you want to create own sets.
Sub-Themes
Sub-themes (e.g. Environment, Env) behave like normal indicators, but you can double-click to see
their internal composition.
Missing data
The treatment of missing indicators is neutral: the points for the available indicators are divided by
the number of available indicators.
Note that this straightforward method rewards "suppression of bad news", i.e. countries/cities might
be tempted to improve their score by not supplying "red" indicators.
Tip: hold Shift and right-click into the index (the central circle) to toggle between the normal view,
showing missing indicators in blue, and a view that suppresses the missing ones. Note that this
feature can not be saved – the potential for manipulation is too high for the author’s taste.
Colour codes
Dark red means: in the group of countries (cities, regions, ...), this is one of the worst examples.
Yellow means average performance.
