Can We Quantify Indonesia’s Political Temperature? I Built a Daily GPR Index to Find Out
A data scientist has developed a daily Geopolitical Risk (GPR) index for Indonesia by analyzing local news sources. This approach differs from existing GPR indexes, which rely on international English-language media and may not capture on-the-ground sentiment. The new index uses a pipeline involving Python for scraping, Prefect Cloud for orchestration, and dbt for data transformation to quantify political tension from Indonesian-language headlines. AI
IMPACT This methodology could be adapted to quantify political temperature in other regions, offering new insights for financial and geopolitical analysis.
