Students and researchers often ask CDVS for data on risk assessments of countries and risk comparisons between them.
- Some of the data sources relating to risk provide index numbers in downloadable tabular format measuring different aspects of risk, such as economic or political. They may include a few index numbers, or even thousands of nuanced indicators and changes over many years.
- Some of the sources provide graphic representations to compare different risk components, different countries, or changes over time, but may let you download the information in graphic charts as a spreadsheet.
- Other sources provide a more narrative discussion of risk, typically including tables and visuals, rather than downloadable datasets.
The resources highlighted in this guide present examples of each of these presentation methods and should provide researchers needing risk information with meaningful data.
