Capability Accumulation and Conditional Convergence: Towards a Dynamic Theory of Economic Complexity
Cesar A. Hidalgo, Viktor Stojkoski
We develop a dynamic model of economic complexity that endogenously generates a transition between unconditional and conditional convergence. In this model, convergence turns condi…
Economic Complexity Alignment and Sustainable Development
Quinten De Wettinck, Karolien De Bruyne, Wouter Bam +1
Economic complexity has been linked to sustainability outcomes, such as income inequality and greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, it is unclear whether the pursuit of complex and/or rel…
The Theory of Economic Complexity
César A. Hidalgo, Viktor Stojkoski
We provide a mechanistic foundation for economic complexity methods. In our model, an economy's ability to produce an activity depends on the joint presence of required capabilitie…
Optimizing Economic Complexity
Viktor Stojkoski, César A. Hidalgo
Efforts to apply economic complexity to identify diversification opportunities often rely on diagrams comparing the relatedness and complexity or products, technologies, or industr…
The Software Complexity of Nations
Sándor Juhász, Johannes Wachs, Jermain Kaminski +1
Despite the growing importance of the digital sector, research on economic complexity and its implications continues to rely mostly on administrative records, e.g. data on exports,…
Intercity Connectivity and Innovation
Xiaofan Liang, César A. Hidalgo, Pierre-Alexandre Balland +2
Urban outputs, from economy to innovation, are known to grow as a power of a city's population. But, since large cities tend to be central in transportation and communication netwo…
