They are a great way to see how the relationship between two variables changes historically. The main V-Dem site no longer has a motion chart. I make two of my own available here: one for <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nd.edu\/~mcoppedg\/crd\/mcoppedgV10MotionChart.html\">all the data from 1900 through 2019<\/a>, the other with <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nd.edu\/~mcoppedg\/crd\/mcoppedgHV10MotionChart.html\">selected Historical V-Dem variables going back to 1789<\/a>. Unfortunately, these motion charts rely on Flash, which Chrome and most other browsers no longer run. These links are still live in case you have a browser that can run Flash. If the chart still will not load, you probably need to allow Flash in your browser. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/enable-flash-in-chrome-4160696\">Instructions for doing this.<\/a> Or you may need to install or update Flash. <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/flash-player.html\">Instructions here.<\/a> Finally, the motion chart is a big file, so it may be necessary to refresh or resume the download 2-3 times. Note: Some population figures are rough estimates, for display only.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-171 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/michael-coppedge\/files\/2018\/01\/AltMotionChart-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/michael-coppedge\/files\/2018\/01\/AltMotionChart-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/michael-coppedge\/files\/2018\/01\/AltMotionChart-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/michael-coppedge\/files\/2018\/01\/AltMotionChart-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/michael-coppedge\/files\/2018\/01\/AltMotionChart-624x416.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/michael-coppedge\/files\/2018\/01\/AltMotionChart.png 1214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I hope that eventually I or the V-Dem Institute will post an alternative that does not rely on Flash.
