Is Country Gradient (C-2) the same as the Dynamism Index (DYI)?
No. Component 2 of the ACV Index measures country gradient, but it is not the same formula as DYI. The formula for the Dynamism Index is DYI=[(EFWI-WGI)], whereas the formula for country gradient is C2={WGI+[(EFWI-WGI)/2]}. DYI is therefore a 'nested' or embedded equation and is also appropriately termed a sub-index.
Is Country Momentum (C-3) the same as the Momentum Index (AUTI)?
Yes. Component 3 (C-3) of the ACV Index measures country momentum, and is the same formula as the Momentum Index (AUTI).
What is the difference between Transitivity v Transformation?
Country Transitivity means variations in the country scenario (actual or hypothetical) according to alpha values (T-1), beta stability (T-2), or net gamma (T-3).
Country Transformation refers to the sub-transivity markers of net gamma (T-3), which are nominal outcomes or variances in the country statistical result for transformation sub-indices, namely (i) Dynamism Index (DYI), and (ii) Momentum (AUTI) Index.
Why is DYI situated in the T-3 Gamma Profile, when it is a part of the Country Gradient (C2) and not Country Momentum (C3)?
DYI measures a country transformation dimension emanating from computations associated with residual country outcomes. Simplified, it is a ‘flow’ value (premium/deficit) concept compared to a ‘stock’ value.
