Alpha Analysis

Formulative World Structuration

A universal schemata for formulative world structuration refers to qualitative conceptualisations of world progress. This is theorised in terms of predominating global themes of human freedom and equality such as to systematise a cardinal 'alpha' matrix.

Alpha Matrix

ACV alpha selection is particularised by world structuration outcomes generalising boundary values for world progress as specified in the Alpha Matrix shown below.

Graph 1: ACV Alpha Matrix

Further Information

Statistical Method

The alpha matrix is synchronous to pre-defined variables for ACV alpha selection, namely Digital Economy Rankings (DERI), e-Government Development Index (eGDI), GNI per capita (US dollars) and GNI per capita (International dollars) (see Reference Indices page).

Typologies of World Progress

Alpha matrix cluster formation consequently structures a Typologies of World Progress summary schedule as follows.

WP-1

WP-2

WP-3

WP-4

Positive Character

Understates public sector accountabilities; and does not assure social baselines

May overstate integrity of public sector delivery; and does not fully capture private sector dynamism

Does not capture tangible and intangible public goods and services

Limited measurement and statistical capacity; and conditional application to comparative analysis

Normative Character

Understates public sector accountabilities; and does not assure social baselines

Integrates concepts of a civic 'horizon' predicated on efficiency and redistributive potential of public sector technologies

Capable of providing real market-linked valuation for world welfare analysis

Hypothetical equalisation of world welfare, according to disciplined estimation of purchasing power parity

Therefore, extent alpha transitivity (T-1) is theorised within the metrics of the world progress quadrilet to encompass: (a) World Progress 1 (WP-1), (b) World Progress 2 (WP-2); (c) World Progress 3 (WP-3); and (d) World Progress 4 (WP-4).
