Updated Political Risk Data Now Available
The measures on this site are updated through March 2021. We have partnered with NL Analytics, a startup that extends our methodology with regularly updated country risk metrics. If you need current data for ongoing research or real-time monitoring, their platform is an excellent complement to the historical measures available here.
You can download the list of political but not non-political bigrams with their tf*idf weight (multiplied by 100,000) here.
