HEAD TO HEAD
Argentina vs Bolivia
Verdict
Argentina holds a 83–17 advantage over Bolivia on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (85% of the combined total, $3.9bn) and economic size (GDP) (92% of the combined total, $638bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
