Possible analytical dimensions

1. Economic Stability

GDP, GDP growth, GDP per capita, inflation rate, unemployment rate, government debt, income category, innovation index rank.

2. Services Trade

services trade receipts/expenditures, total services trade, Swiss trade share, top sectors.

3. Direct Investments

direct investments abroad, Swiss investment share.

4. Goods Trade

exports/imports, total goods trade, Swiss trade share, trade partner rank.

Possible objective: Provide a structured view of public selected economic indicators to support country monitoring and user-driven evaluation over time.

Economic Relationship & Stability Monitoring

Central Question

How relevant, stable and economically attractive is a country for Switzerland, and which trends could become relevant for future economic or diplomatic decisions?

Possible Approach

The prototype could combine public datasets in order to:

1. visualize economic stability,
2. evaluate competitiveness and attractiveness,
3. highlight Swiss economic exposure,
4. identify trends over time,
5. detect possible risk or opportunity signals.

Possible Analytical Questions

An interesting aspect of the challenge could be not only to connect public data sources technically, but also to derive relevant diplomatic insights from them.

Possible questions:

1. Which trends and changes become visible across countries?
2. Which indicators show unusual developments?
3. Which factors could point to increasing instability or risks?
4. How do bilateral or multilateral relationships evolve over time?
5. Can public data reveal changes in cooperation or alignment patterns?

This could help support dynamic country profiles, trend analysis and more data-driven decision-making — in line with the challenge «More Data – Better Diplomacy».

Mögliche analytische Fragestellungen

Ein interessanter Aspekt der Challenge könnte sein, öffentliche Datenquellen nicht nur technisch zu verbinden, sondern daraus relevante diplomatische Erkenntnisse abzuleiten.

Mögliche Fragestellungen könnten sein:

1. Welche Trends und Veränderungen werden über Länder hinweg sichtbar?
2. Welche Indikatoren zeigen ungewöhnliche Entwicklungen?
3. Welche Faktoren könnten auf zunehmende Instabilität oder Risiken hinweisen?
4. Wie entwickeln sich bilaterale oder multilaterale Beziehungen im Zeitverlauf?
5. Können öffentliche Daten Hinweise auf Veränderungen in Kooperations- oder Abstimmungsmustern geben?

Das könnte helfen, dynamische Länderprofile, Trendanalysen und datenbasierte Entscheidungsunterstützung aufzubauen – im Sinne der Challenge «Mehr Daten – bessere Diplomatie».
