One way to do so is to look at dozens, or perhaps hundreds, of cities in terms of population, or average income, and compare them with the number of
bookshops in each city.
It is not a perfect analogy but — except, of course, for the part in which analyses that use the number of
bookshops as a proxy for literacy are widely ridiculed — it is nonetheless similar to what happens when the health of the Chinese economy is measured by the reported GDP data, or when second - order measures, such as the dependence of Chinese growth on debt, is estimated by looking at credit growth in relation to GDP growth.
This immediately renders the number of
bookshops useless as a proxy for literacy, unless one can find another output measure that can be used to adjust the number of
bookshops, perhaps the number of titles on offer or revenue per shop.
But now assume that the government passes a literacy law that requires that every city must have exactly one
bookshop for every 10,000 residents — no more, no less — and there is a government agency whose purpose is to make sure that for every city there is the number of bookshops required by law.
In that case, the number of
bookshops, which is a systems output — generated organically by the size of the city, the rate of literacy, the income of residents, and other relevant factors — would serve as a proxy for literacy, while population or income would serve as proxies for whatever variable one wants to measure.
Like with GDP, there are a whole set of problems with using the number of
bookshops as a proxy for literacy, but it is a reasonable proxy, and perhaps in our case, it is the best measure that can be found.
