	  	The KOF Index of Globalization measures the three main dimensions of globalization:
	  	<UL>
	  		<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">economic</LI>
	  		<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">social</LI>
	  		<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">and political.</LI>
	  	</UL> 
	  	In addition to three indices measuring these dimensions, we calculate an 
	  	overall index of globalization and sub-indices referring to 
	  	<UL>
	  		<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">actual economic flows</LI>
	  		<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">economic restrictions</LI>
