Engineers and researchers can leverage this GPR Index to enhance risk assessment models in geopolitical contexts.
Key Takeaways
Full Summary
Geopolitical risk is a critical factor in various sectors, yet it remains largely unmeasured, particularly in Indonesia. To address this, a daily Geopolitical Risk (GPR) Index was created by scraping headlines from five Indonesian news sources.
The methodology involved using a keyword model to identify relevant terms, orchestrated through Prefect Cloud for workflow management and automated with GitHub Actions for continuous integration. The resulting index quantifies political tension on a daily basis, offering a new tool for analysts and decision-makers.
Initial findings suggest that this index can effectively track shifts in political sentiment, providing actionable insights for stakeholders. By quantifying these risks, organizations can better navigate the complexities of the Indonesian political landscape.
