I wonder if there are any public data that can be used to assess the effects of the strike. And I wonder if this data could be analyzed statistically to see if there were any significant difference as a result of the strike.

I can only think of the stock exchange data. Either trading volume or the CASE index could be affected. But there could be lots of confounding variables and it is hard to …

عندي سؤال لية دعوة بموضوع ابرهيم عيسى. قرأت خبر عرضه على المحكمة اليوم.
