Definition
CBCRI measures cross-border computational reallocation—the extent to which AI-mediated allocation causes demand intended for one jurisdiction to be reallocated to another. Higher CBCRI indicates greater cross-border leakage.
CBCRI assesses the extent to which AI-mediated allocation redirects demand across jurisdictional borders, affecting trade and capital flow patterns.

Description
CBCRI = demand_reallocated_across_borders / total_ai_mediated_demand.
Limitations
- Cross-border attribution is challenging
- Intended destination estimation is heuristic
Key Takeaways
Key Points
- CBCRI scales 0-1
- Higher indicates more cross-border leakage
- Affects trade and capital flows
