        That’s the exact same link I already read. Did you mean to send me something else? There was a link titled “award-winning research” to a $27 book. I wasn’t able to find any further data sources beyond the provided anecdotes. Did I miss something?

              The book itself is based on multiple studies. Here is the first part of the second paragraph for the book’s description:

              Combining statistical analysis with case studies of specific countries and territories […]
