One index of globalization is the ''KOF Index of Globalization'', which measures three important dimensions of globalization: economic, social, and political.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://globalization.kof.ethz.ch/ | title=KOF Index of Globalization | publisher=The KOF Swiss Economic Institute | work=ethz.ch | date=2014 | access-date=21 January 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120531222435/http://globalization.kof.ethz.ch/ | archive-date=31 May 2012 }}</ref> Another is the [[A.T.

Measurements of economic globalization typically focus on variables such as [[trade]], [[Foreign Direct Investment]] (FDI), [[Gross Domestic Product]] (GDP), [[portfolio investment]], and [[income]]. However, newer indices attempt to measure globalization in more general terms, including variables related to political, social, cultural, and even environmental aspects of globalization.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Vujakovic | first1 = Petra | year = 2010 | title = How to Measure Globalization?

The DHL Global Connectedness Index studies four main types of cross-border flow: trade (in both goods and services), information, people (including tourists, students, and migrants), and capital. It shows that the depth of global integration fell by about one-tenth after 2008, but by 2013 had recovered well above its pre-crash peak.<ref name="DHL" /><ref name="Signs of life" /> The report also found a shift of economic activity to [[emerging economies]].<ref name="DHL" />
