Differentiated values are most prominent in the literature.
These were put together to express the regional differences in vulnerability, from a regional perspective. All values were averaged from the hypothetical regional decision maker's point of view. Regional estimates were added up to arrive at a global aggregate. One may think this is discriminatory, as from the hypothetical global decision maker's point of view, values are differentiated for income. However, this thought is incorrect, as Chapter 6 unambiguously says.
