Global Country Perspective

Do you find it - just like me - hard to get a clear picture of a country's impact and contribution from global perspective? Here's some help...

GCI
The Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) is a comprehensive tool that measures the microeconomic and macroeconomic foundations of national competitiveness. It is composed of 12 "pillars", or categories.

Competitiveness is the set of institutions, factors and policies that determine the level of productivity of a country taking into account its level of development.

Charts
With the help of the free Tableau (visual) software I've created several charts that give an rough idea of a country's competitiveness an productivity in relation with it's relative global size (% of total world GDP).

The last rectangle chart 'Country GDP world Share' shows in a scaled way the GDP proportions of all 148 measured countries in the world. The color of each rectangle represents the GCI-level of each country (dark red=poor, dark green = splendid).

Remarks
If you look specifically for the Netherlands in the first chart.... Click (or double click) on the word 'Netherlands'. In general, move you mouse across the different circles and rectangles to view more detailed information.

Enjoy!
