These are usually quantifiable measures characterizing the property of the distribution of a variable among individuals, typically constructed from the census or survey data. Do not use them as dependent variables while making inferences about the behavior of individuals. This would lead to ecological (aggregation) fallacy.
Measures of exchanging and networking These are relatively difficult to construct variables since they involve relationships among system elements. The danger is that the created variables involve dependencies. Imagine that you analyze flow of people among two regions, A and B, and you construct the increase of migratory population for the region A, IA = in-migration – out-migration. Your measure for region B, IB, would depend on IA. Thus, the one measure is redundant. Which you will choose? Could be used as dependent variables.
Countries are units of analyses. You have as many units as you have countries

These measures are computed by three different methods: (1) Value of the output. The most difficult method since it involves pricing flow of goods and services in the economy of a nation (2) Expenditure. It means: (A) All personal spending, plus (B) all government spending, plus (C) all investment spending by a nation's industry both domestically and all over the world. (3) Earnings and cost approach, in which all forms of wages and income, such as corporate profits, net interest returns, rent, indirect business taxes, and unincorporated income are added together. All three methods produce the same result.

You must decide what you want to represent/ If the whole world – be sure to have countries from all region. If you concerned with countries which have a sizable population, remove those with less than a million inhabitance (N decreases to 145). And so on.
