Units of Analysis

Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1057/9780230502178_3
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Having defined the relevance to the present study of the methodological techniques advanced by scholars in recent years, it is necessary to define the subject of research. In order to achieve this goal, we need to break it down into its component units: foreign direct investment (FDI), transition, the state, and, finally, legal regulation.
