The International Investment Index Report for to 14 Make international investment simple Introduction International investment continuously flourishes within new century, how to make scientific decision on international investment becomes more important for entrepreneurs, governments and scholars. Here we release the report, International Investment Index Report for to 14. This report is issued by International Research Center of Wuhan University. It selects the research samples from 8 countries and territories, which include 31 in Asia, 28 in Europe, 12 in North America, 9 in South America, 24 in Africa, 4 in Oceania; also 29 developed countries and 79 developing countries (including Chinese Hong Kong). It is the weather that analyzes and forecasts the global international investment opportunities and trends, and also helps the international organizations or international investors minimize the risk on international investment. International investment needs precise decision-making but in fact contains man-made leading factors. In order to minimize the subjective factors, the International Investment Index Report for to 14 has done lots of contributions in the aspect of objective and neutrality. This research bases on attribute of international investment and starts from the point of volatility to quantify and standardize the index system by big data. It exactly indicates our philosophy and purpose make international investment simple. International Investment Index (II index) is a performance indicator for international investment analysis and prediction on multidimensional perspectives by big data. International Investment Index (II index) in this report includes 11 first level catalogues; 9 indicators of fourth level catalogues that cover politics, social environment, natural environment, economy, finance, trade, investment, market, innovation, infrastructure, force majeure factors, etc. International Investment Index (II index) takes basic theories of Economics and Investment, which do modeling from the two aspects of international investment returns and risks to evaluate the international investment performance, and use Monte Carlo Simulation and GBM that deduce volatility of international investment to be positive correlation with investment return and the market trend, through the PCA and Probit-logit methods to calculate the mapping factor of weight and probability. Adopting innovatively data modeling to solve the difficulties on subjective scoring or qualitative variables, this report realizes a comprehensive and quantitative analysis by big data to reach the objective and neutral empirical conclusion. All data sources come from the World Bank, some international key authorities and each national government in order to ensure its authority and accuracy. The International Investment Index Report for to 14 is led by Professor Chen Hong in Wuhan University, with other key cooperation and dedication members including Yu Pei, Yang Chengyu, Ma Yongjian, Wei Xin, Cao Hongtao, Xu Rong, Zhu Pengshen, Hou Baocai, etc. 1
