Effective September 2016, the Donga Ilbo newspaper was dropped from the set of newspapers used to construct this index. The new version of the index is spliced to the old version based on their overlap from January to August 2016. For further explanation, please see the source's page on the South Korea Monthly Index (https://www.policyuncertainty.com/korea_monthly.html). For additional details, including an analysis of the performance of the model, see Baker, Scott, Nicholas Bloom and Steven Davis (2012), "Measuring Economic Policy Uncertainty" (http://www.policyuncertainty.com/media/BakerBloomDavis.pdf)

Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor. A design consists of the visual ornamental characteristics embodied in, or applied to, an article of manufacture. Since a design is manifested in appearance, the subject matter of a design patent application may relate to the configuration or shape of an article, to the surface ornamentation applied to an article, or to the combination of configuration and surface ornamentation. A design for surface ornamentation is inseparable from the article to which it is applied and cannot exist alone. It must be a definite pattern of surface ornamentation, applied to an article of manufacture. See PTMT Products and Services Brochure (https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/ido/oeip/taf/brochure.htm) and Types of patent applications and proceedings (https://www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/types-patent-applications) for more information.

Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor. Total is the sum of utility, plant, design, and reissue patents granted. See PTMT Products and Services Brochure (https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/ido/oeip/taf/brochure.htm) and Types of patent applications and proceedings (https://www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/types-patent-applications) for more information.

International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live, including refugees. Refugees are people who are recognized as refugees under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, people recognized as refugees in accordance with the UNHCR statute, people granted refugee-like humanitarian status, and people provided temporary protection. Asylum seekers - people who have applied for asylum or refugee status and who have not yet received a decision or who are registered as asylum seekers - are excluded.

Refugees are people who are recognized as refugees under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, people recognized as refugees in accordance with the UNHCR statute, people granted refugee-like humanitarian status, and people provided temporary protection. Asylum seekers - people who have applied for asylum or refugee status and who have not yet received a decision or who are registered as asylum seekers - are excluded. Palestinian refugees are people (and their descendants) whose residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948 and who lost their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Country of asylum is the country where an asylum claim was filed and granted. World Bank Source: Data before 2018 are from United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Statistics Database, Statistical Yearbook and data files, complemented by statistics on Palestinian refugees under the mandate of the UNRWA as published on its website. Data from UNHCR are available online (www.unhcr.org/en-us/figures-at-a-glance.html). The data for 2018 are from UNHCR Global Trends report 2018 and World Bank's estimates (for Palestinian refugees in the UNRWA areas of operation). Source Indicator: SM.POP.REFG
