Bliss and Alexander Eckstein, “Population, Sovereignty and Trade,” Economic Development and Cultural Change, Vol. 10, No. 4 (07, 1962), 353–366 (see esp. fig. 1, p. 361).CrossRefGoogle Scholar Incidentally, it is also important to note that, while the Savage-Deutsch method effectively controls for total volume of world trade, the average RA index in the matrix is not constant. Thus, if integration is to be indicated through the RA indices between nations, global levels of integration are not fixed artificially by the Savage-Deutsch method. Use of the index in this manner is not, however, recommended.
