Measure and scope
Paragraph 25 of the study, quoted verbatim. A nine-year test applied to a ten-year series
Known conflict
"None" at the head of this cell is SUPERSEDED (Article 3 remediation 2, 15 October 2026 (audits/reports/article03_review_2026-10-15/REMEDIATION_2.md), D3-8). None. This is banked minor MIN-018 confirmed at the line || Article 3 review, 15 October 2026 (audits/reports/article03_review_2026-10-15/REMEDIATION.md) (A3-10): the study states the filter three ways. p.45 "in a majority of the nine-year period" (with its 2000-2008 example); p.40 "[quotation withheld, 10 words; follow the citation]"; the Table 11 heading, p.74, "[quotation withheld, 22 words; follow the citation]". A reviewer's inference, not a finding: on the signs of Table 17 Syria's mispricing is positive in 5 of 9 years (2000-2008) and 5 of 10 (2000-2009), and Table 11 keeps it, which fits the p.45 rule and not the heading's. Specialist question, banked as MIN-2109: under the heading's rule Syria's normalised figure could have been zero. || Article 3 remediation 2, 15 October 2026 (audits/reports/article03_review_2026-10-15/REMEDIATION_2.md) (D3-8): the reviewer's sign test assumes the test runs on Table 17's series, which the report does not state; Table 7's GER row for Syria is positive in all ten years, so a test on Table 7 passes under either rule, and Table 17 is negative in 2004, the year Table 11 keeps at 12,761. Status left SUPPORTED as a verbatim quotation of p.45; whether to QUALIFY is for the author.
