The Country Similarity Index has yet again been revised to reflex feedback received on this project. This will be the final update to the index using data from 2020. The changes are not as significant as from 1.0 to 2.0. The third version is essentially the same as the second version, except that it has a slightly revised the formula for race, religion, lingua franca, TV broadcasting standards, and visa policy. It also fixes some minor errors in the data sets.
The articles on each country will also be expanded and changed to reflect 3.0.
When are the updated versions going to be posted? Waiting for Israel by the way.
Still, a few more weeks to get this updated. This time all the countries will be calculated first, then the articles will be updated with more in-depth information
.
completed israel 3.0 – essentially same results as 2.0
Hi Jeff,
Hope you are well!
I just came across your website and I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of data collection and methodology used behind your country similarity index.
I am currently working on a University project where I am aiming to group/rank the following 15 countries in terms of cultural similarities – is there any chance that you would be able to provide more insights/data to help me in my task?
Australia
New Zealand
Cambodia
Hong Kong
Macau
Indonesia
India
Korea
Malaysia
Brunei
Philippines
Singapore
Taiwan
Thailand
Vietnam
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Yoann
