HEAD TO HEAD
Dominican Republic vs Haiti
Verdict
Dominican Republic holds a 88–12 advantage over Haiti on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (96% of the combined total, $1.0bn) and economic size (GDP) (83% of the combined total, $124bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
