Caldara and Iacoviello (2022) measure geopolitical risk, while Carvalho, Nirei, Saito, and Tahbaz-Salehi (2021) estimate earthquake propagation through firm links. Neither defines the four-leg GDELT/ACLED/port/BDI composite.

In plain terms

Inactive geopolitical-event research using release- or capture-timed events and effective-dated baskets. Legacy bulk history is not promotion-grade evidence.

How it works

four-leg composite z (inverted global GDELT tone, global ACLED fatalities, inverted LA+LB port TEU change from the shipping release substrate, inverted BDI-proxy 60d change from effective-dated bdi_proxy members); ALL FOUR legs must be admissible on a session or the composite is undefined there — legs are NEVER silently dropped (the legacy module averaged whatever legs existed, silently changing the composite's meaning); composite >= 1.0/1.5 -> SHORT effective-dated cyclical_high_beta members (borrow-enforced), holds 10/20
