Summary
This release makes the atlas's executable lever crosswalk, GDP regression, eta, uncertainty, source datasets, and known limitations directly inspectable in both the HTML atlas and print ebook.
Highlights
- Nine dedicated lever records expose global annual capital exclusions, source variables, thresholds, proxy choices, and caveats.
- Defines the NCM Isolated Entity as the focal country-year analytical unit, not a V-Dem field or a claim that countries are causally isolated.
- Discloses proxy reuse in the released component data: levers 3 and 6 use
v2clkill; levers 4 and 7 usev2xcl_acjst. - Reports the canonical population-weighted model:
n=187,eta=0.305, robustp=0.00568, weightedR2=0.252, with the operational coefficient rounded to0.30. - Separates the strong cross-sectional GDP-level association from the non-significant 2023-2024 current-US$ growth check (
R2=0.004,p=0.207). - Adds official V-Dem and World Bank WDI guidance, distinguishing the published Full+Others v15 score source from the current v16 update workflow and documenting the missing source checksum as a replication boundary.
- Updates the Eurozone report and embeds its 27 pages after nation profiles and before evidence/data pages.
- Regenerated the complete 278-page ebook; page 8 retains the
$15.87Tglobal total.
Release Asset
The release intentionally contains only RTLDI_ATLAS_2026_ebook.pdf. The standalone modular and Eurozone PDFs remain reproducible repository build artifacts, not release attachments.
