Focused reading

What this evidence packet says

The selected measures shape this note; the full source snapshots remain below.
  1. 01

    The PMR release does not publish a regulatory-framework packet for Paraguay; this lane remains unavailable rather than imputed.

  2. 02

    Paraguay reported 3 phase one clearances in 2024, ranked 54 of 56 published economy values.

  3. 03

    The regulatory snapshot and annual activity count use different source clocks and meanings. Their proximity on this page is a research navigation aid, not a composite score or effectiveness finding.

Interpretation boundary

Read the lanes separately

This bridge aligns OECD Product Market Regulation economy codes with OECD Competition Trends economy-jurisdiction codes for navigation across two separate releases. PMR values describe encoded regulatory frameworks on a 0-6 scale at economy-specific reference dates. Competition Trends values count reported merger-control activity in 2015-2024. Positions, ranks, gaps, changes, and co-movement do not measure market concentration, enforcement quality, deterrence, welfare, institutional effectiveness, legal correctness, or causation.Economies join only when the two OECD releases publish the same exact economy code and name. No fuzzy name matching, imputation, forward filling, or composite score is used. Forty-seven economies join across both releases; PMR-only and enforcement-only economies remain visible as one-sided evidence records. EU and COMESA are retained separately as regional authorities and are not treated as economies in the bridge.
