Abstract

EVI, the economic vulnerability index, has been designed in 1999 by the CDP to be used for the identification of the LDCs, beside two other criteria, the level of income per capita and an indicator of human resources. It has actually been used in 2000 and 2003 by the CDP for its last two triennial reviews of the list of LDCs. After recalling the origin and nature of the EVI, and relying on the past experiment, we propose in this note a possible revis ion of EVI. It examines how to improve its components, with a special attention paid to remoteness. The way by which the components are averaged is also considered. Some results of simulations and their implications are presented.
