As summarized and analysed in paragraphs 21 34 above, the five practical methods of impact assessment, namely (a) time series analysis of balance of payments changes (b) stratified sample survey of firms (c) gravity model of bilateral trade flows (d) regression equation of income shocks and (e) analytic hierarchy process for perception surveys, or any combination thereof, provide needed flexibility in this regard.

Just as Lula s 2002 election signified a sea of change in a highly class conscious, socially stratified society, Silva s election would shake up the racial order in a country and indeed continent where racism has not been eradicated.

Based on relevant special studies, the expert group reviewed a number of specific methods that may be applicable for assessing the incidental impact of multilateral economic sanctions on non target States, including (a) time series analysis of balance of payments changes (b) stratified sample survey of firms or other affected entities (c) gravity model of bilateral trade flows (d) regression equation of income shocks and (e) analytic hierarchy process for perception surveys.
