The research on which this Atlas is based began around 2006 with the idea of the
product space. In the original paper published in Science in 2007, we collaborated
with Albert-Laszlo Barabasi and Bailey Klinger. The view of economic development of
countries as a process of discovering which products a country can master, a process
we called self-discovery, came from joint work with Dani Rodrik and later also with
Jason Hwang. We explored different implications of the basic approach in papers
with Dany Bahar, Bailey Klinger, Robert Lawrence, Francisco Rodriguez, Dani Rodrik,
Charles Sabel, Rodrigo Wagner and Andrs Zahler. Throughout, we received signifcant
feedback and advice from Lant Pritchett, Andrs Velasco and Adrian Wood.
We want to thank the dedicated team that runs Harvards Center for International
Development (CID) for helping bring the Atlas to life: Marcela Escobari, Jennifer Gala,
Irene Gandara Jones, Aimee Fox, Adriana Hoyos, Andrea Carranza, Anne Morriss and
Catalina Prieto. We are also indebted to the NeCSys team at the MIT Media Lab and to
Sandy Sener. We thank the leadership at Harvard Kennedy School and the MIT Media
Lab who were early enthusiasts of our work.

ver the past two centuries, mankind has
accomplished what used to be unthink-
able. When we look back at our long list of
achievements, it is easy to focus on the most
audacious of them, such as our conquest of
the skies and the moon. Our lives, however,
have been made easier and more prosper-
ous by a large number of more modest, yet
crucially important feats. Think of electric
bulbs, telephones, cars, personal computers, antibiotics, TVs,
refrigerators, watches and water heaters. Think of the many
innovations that beneft us despite our minimal awareness
of them, such as advances in port management, electric
power distribution, agrochemicals and water purifcation.
This progress was possible because we got smarter. During
the past two centuries, the amount of productive knowledge
we hold expanded dramatically. This was not, however, an
individual phenomenon. It was a collective phenomenon. As
individuals we are not much more capable than our ances-
tors, but as societies we have developed the ability to make
all that we have mentioned and much, much more.
Modern societies can amass large amounts of produc-
tive knowledge because they distribute bits and pieces of it
among its many members. But to make use of it, this knowl-
edge has to be put back together through organizations and
markets. Thus, individual specialization begets diversity at
the national and global level. Our most prosperous modern
societies are wiser, not because their citizens are individu-
ally brilliant, but because these societies hold a diversity of
knowhow and because they are able to recombine it to create
a larger variety of smarter and better products.

most part, it is not available in books or on the Internet.
It is embedded in brains and human networks. It is tacit
and hard to transmit and acquire. It comes from years of
experience more than from years of schooling. Productive
knowledge, therefore, cannot be learned easily like a song
or a poem. It requires structural changes. Just like learning
a language requires changes in the structure of the brain,
developing a new industry requires changes in the patterns
of interaction inside an organization or society.
Expanding the amount of productive knowledge available
in a country involves enlarging the set of activities that the
country is able to do. This process, however, is tricky. Indus-
tries cannot exist if the requisite productive knowledge is
absent, yet accumulating bits of productive knowledge will
make little sense in places where the industries that require
it are not present. This chicken and egg problem slows
down the accumulation of productive knowledge. It also
creates important path dependencies. It is easier for coun-
tries to move into industries that mostly reuse what they
already know, since these industries require adding modest
amounts of productive knowledge. By gradually adding new
knowledge to what they already know, countries economize
on the chicken and egg problem. That is why we fnd em-
pirically that countries move from the products that they
already create to others that are close by in terms of the
productive knowledge that they require.
The Atlas of Economic Complexity attempts to measure the
amount of productive knowledge that each country holds. Our
measure of productive knowledge can account for the enor-
mous income differences between the nations of the world
and has the capacity to predict the rate at which countries
The social accumulation of productive knowledge has not
been a universal phenomenon. It has taken place in some
parts of the world, but not in others. Where it has hap-
pened, it has underpinned an incredible increase in living
standards. Where it has not, living standards resemble those
of centuries past. The enormous income gaps between rich
and poor nations are an expression of the vast differences in
productive knowledge amassed by different nations. These
differences are expressed in the diversity and sophistication
of the things that each of them makes, which we explore in
detail in this Atlas.
Just as nations differ in the amount of productive knowl-
edge they hold, so do products. The amount of knowledge
that is required to make a product can vary enormously
from one good to the next. Most modern products require
more knowledge than what a single person can hold. No-
body in this world, not even the saviest geek nor the most
knowledgeable entrepreneur knows how to make a com-
puter. He has to rely on others who know about battery
technology, liquid crystals, microprocessor design, software
development, metallurgy, milling, lean manufacturing and
human resource management, among many other skills.
That is why the average worker in a rich country works in
a frm that is much larger and more connected than frms
in poor countries. For a society to operate at a high level
of total productive knowledge, individuals must know dif-
ferent things. Diversity of productive knowledge, however, is
not enough. In order to put knowledge into productive use,
societies need to reassemble these distributed bits through
teams, organizations and markets.
Accumulating productive knowledge is diffcult. For the
will grow. In fact, it is much more predictive than other well-
known development indicators, such as those that attempt to
measure competitiveness, governance and education.
A central contribution of this Atlas is the creation of a
map that captures the similarity of products in terms of
their knowledge requirements. This map provides paths
through which productive knowledge is more easily accu-
mulated. We call this map, or network, the product space,
and use it to locate each country, illustrating their current
productive capabilities and the products that lie nearby.
Ultimately, this Atlas views economic development as a
social learning process, but one that is rife with pitfalls and
dangers. Countries accumulate productive knowledge by
developing the capacity to make a larger variety of products
of increasing complexity. This process involves trial and er-
ror. It is a risky journey in search of the possible. Entrepre-
neurs, investors and policymakers play a fundamental role
in this economic exploration.
By providing rankings, we wish to clarify the scope of the
achievable, as revealed by the experience of others. By track-
ing progress, we offer feedback regarding current trends. By
providing maps, we do not pretend to tell potential explor-
ers where to go, but to pinpoint what is out there and what
routes may be shorter or more secure. We hope this will em-
power these explorers with valuable information that will
encourage them to take on the challenge and thus speed up
the process of economic development.

MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 15
hat are things made out of? One way
of describing the economic world
is to say that things are made with
machines, raw materials and labor.
Another way is to emphasize that
products are made with knowledge.
Consider toothpaste. Is toothpaste
just some paste in a tube? Or do
the paste and the tube allow us to
access knowledge about the properties of sodium fuoride
on teeth and about how to achieve its synthesis? The true
value of a tube of toothpaste, in other words, is that it mani-
fests knowledge about the chemicals that facilitate brush-
ing, and that kill the germs that cause bad breath, cavities
and gum disease.
When we think of products in these terms, markets take
on a different meaning. Markets allow us to access the vast
amounts of knowledge that are scattered among the people
of the world. Toothpaste embeds our knowledge about the
chemicals that prevent tooth decay, just like cars embody
our knowledge of mechanical engineering, metallurgy, elec-
tronics and design. Computers package knowledge about in-
formation theory, electronics, plastics and graphics, whereas
apples embody thousands of years of plant domestication
as well as knowledge about logistics, refrigeration, pest con-
trol, food safety and the preservation of fresh produce.
Products are vehicles for knowledge, but embedding
knowledge in products requires people who possess a work-
ing understanding of that knowledge. Most of us can be ig-
norant about how to synthesize sodium fuoride because
we can rely on the few people who know how to create this
W
atomic cocktail, and who together with their colleagues at
the toothpaste factory, can deposit it into a product that we
can use.
We owe to Adam Smith the idea that the division of labor
is the secret of the wealth of nations. In a modern reinter-
pretation of this idea, the division of labor is what allows
us to access a quantity of knowledge that none of us would
be able to hold individually. We rely on dentists, plumbers,
lawyers, meteorologists and car mechanics to sustain our
standard of living, because few of us know how to fll cavi-
ties, repair leaks, write contracts, predict the weather or fx
our cars. Many of us, however, can get our cavities flled, our
cars repaired and our weather predicted. Markets and orga-
nizations allow the knowledge that is held by few to reach
many. In other words, they make us collectively wiser.
The amount of knowledge embedded in a society, how-
ever, does not depend mainly on how much knowledge each
individual holds. It depends, instead, on the diversity of
knowledge across individuals and on their ability to com-
bine this knowledge, and make use of it, through complex
webs of interaction. A hunter-gatherer in the Arctic must
know a lot of things to survive. Without the knowledge em-
bedded in an Inuit, most of us would die in the Arctic, as has
been demonstrated by the number of Westerners who have
tried and failed. Yet, the total amount of knowledge embed-
ded in a hunter-gatherer society is not very different from
that which is embedded in each one of its members. The se-
cret of modern societies is not that each person holds much
more productive knowledge than those in a more traditional
society. The secret to modernity is that we collectively use
large volumes of knowledge, while each one of us holds only
a few bits of it. Society functions because its members form
webs that allow them to specialize and share their knowl-
edge with others.
We can distinguish between two kinds of knowledge: ex-
plicit and tacit. Explicit knowledge can be transferred easily
by reading a text or listening to a conversation. Yesterdays
sports results, tomorrows weather forecast or the size of the
moon can all be learned quickly by looking them up in a
newspaper or on the web. And yet, if all knowledge had this
characteristic, the world would be very different. Countries
would catch up very quickly to frontier technologies, and the
income differences across the world would be much smaller
than what we see today. The problem is that crucial parts of
knowledge are tacit and therefore hard to embed in people.
Learning how to fx dental problems, speak a foreign lan-
guage, or run a farm requires a costly and time-consuming
effort. As a consequence, it does not make sense for all of us
to spend our lives learning how to do everything. Because it
is hard to transfer, tacit knowledge is what constrains the
process of growth and development. Ultimately, differences
in prosperity are related to the amount of tacit knowledge
that societies hold.
Because embedding tacit knowledge is a long and costly
process, we specialize. This is why people are trained for
specifc occupations and why organizations become good at
specifc functions. To fx cavities you must be able to identi-
fy them, remove the decayed material and replace it. To play
baseball, you must know how to catch, feld and bat, but you
do not need to know how to give fnancial advice or fx cavi-
ties. On the other hand, to perform the function of baseball
player, knowing how to catch a ball is not enough (you must
also be able to feld and bat). In other words, in allocating
productive knowledge to individuals, it is important that
the chunks each person gets be internally coherent so that
he or she can perform a certain function. We refer to these
modularized chunks of embedded knowledge as capabili-
ties. Some of these capabilities have been modularized at
the level of individuals, while others have been grouped into
organizations and even into networks of organizations.
For example, consider what has happened with under-
graduate degrees, which in the US take four years of study.
This norm has remained constant for the last four centuries.
During the same period, however, knowledge has expanded
enormously. The university system did not respond to the
increase in knowledge by lengthening the time it takes to
get a college degree. Instead, it increased the diversity of
degrees. What used to be a degree in philosophy, split into
several branches, one being natural philosophy, which later
split into physics, chemistry and biology and later into other
disciplines such as ecology, earth sciences and psychology.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics Standard Occupation Clas-
sifcation for 2010 lists 840 different occupations, including
78 in healthcare, 16 in engineering, 35 kinds of scientists
in coarse categories such as economists, physicists and
chemists fve types of artists, and eight kinds of design-
ers. We can all imagine a much more nuanced classifcation
in our respective felds. For instance, we could distinguish
between economists that specialize in labor, trade, fnance,
development, industrial organization, macro and econo-
metrics, among others. If we did this further disaggrega-
tion for all occupations, we would easily go into the tens
of thousands. The only way that society can hold all of the
knowledge we have is by distributing coherent pieces of it
among individuals. It is the way the world adapts to expand-
ing knowledge.
Most products, however, require more knowledge than
can be mastered by any individual. Hence, those products
require that individuals with different capabilities interact.
Assume that a person has the capacity to hold an amount of
tacit knowledge equal to one personbyte. How can you make
a product that requires 100 different personbytes? Obvious-
ly, it cannot be made by a micro-entrepreneur working on
her own. It has to be made either by an organization with at
least 100 individuals (with a different personbyte each), or
by a network of organizations that can aggregate these 100
personbytes of knowledge. How can a society hold a kilo-,
mega- or giga-personbyte? Only through a deep division of
labor, in which individuals become experts in small pieces
of the available knowledge and then aggregate their person-
bytes into peoplebytes through organizations and markets.
For example, to make a shirt you need to design it, pro-
cure the fabric, cut it, sew it, pack it, brand it, market it and
distribute it. In a frm that manufactures shirts, expertise
in each of these knowledge chunks will be held by differ-
ent people. And shirts require all of them. Moreover, you
need to fnance the operation, hire the relevant people, co-
ordinate all the activities and negotiate everybodys buy-in,
which in itself require different kinds of knowhow. We can
say that putting together this operation requires know-who
and know-where. Know-who can be thought of as knowl-
edge of who has the requisite chunks of knowledge, and
know-where as knowledge of where the people and orga-
nizations that have this knowledge are located. To make
shirts, you can import the fabric and access the knowledge
about looms and threading that is embedded in a piece of
cloth. Yet some of the knowledge required cannot be acce-
ssed through shipped inputs. The people with the relevant
knowledge must be near the place where shirts are made.
In fact, just as knowhow is modularized in people in the
form of individual capabilities, larger amounts of knowhow
are modularized in organizations, and networks of organi-
zations, as organizational or collective capabilities. For ex-
ample, to operate a garment plant you need power and wa-
ter. You need to be able to move raw materials in and ship
the fnal product out. Workers need access to urban trans-
portation, day care centers and health facilities. To be able
to operate, the plant manager needs all of these services to
be locally available. This implies that others must be aggre-
18 | THE ATLAS OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
gating the personbytes required to generate power, provide
clean water, and run a transportation system. The relevant
capabilities to perform all of these functions reside in orga-
nizations that are able to package the relevant knowledge
into transferable bundles. These are bundles of knowhow
that are more effciently organized separately and trans-
ferred as intermediate inputs. We can think of these bun-
dles as organizational capabilities the manufacturer needs.
Ultimately, the complexity of an economy is related to
the multiplicity of useful knowledge embedded in it. For
a complex society to exist, and to sustain itself, people who
know about design, marketing, fnance, technology, human
resource management, operations and trade law must be
able to interact and combine their knowledge to make prod-
ucts. These same products cannot be made in societies that
are missing parts of this capability set. Economic complex-
ity, therefore, is expressed in the composition of a coun-
trys productive output and refects the structures that
emerge to hold and combine knowledge.
Knowledge can only be accumulated, transferred and
preserved if it is embedded in networks of individuals and
organizations that put this knowledge into productive use.
Knowledge that is not used, however, is also not transferred,
and will disappear once the individuals and organization
How Do We Measure Economic Complexity?
that have it retire or die.
Said differently, countries do not simply make the prod-
ucts and services they need. They make the ones they can.
To do so, they need people and organizations that possess
relevant knowledge. Some goods, like medical imaging de-
vices or jet engines, embed large amounts of knowledge
and are the results of very large networks of people and or-
ganizations. By contrast, wood logs or coffee, embed much
less knowledge, and the networks required to support these
operations do not need to be as large. Complex economies
are those that can weave vast quantities of relevant knowl-
edge together, across large networks of people, to generate
a diverse mix of knowledge-intensive products. Simpler
economies, in contrast, have a narrow base of productive
knowledge and produce fewer and simpler products, which
require smaller webs of interaction. Because individuals
are limited in what they know, the only way societies can
expand their knowledge base is by facilitating the interac-
tion of individuals in increasingly complex webs of orga-
nizations and markets. Increased economic complexity is
necessary for a society to be able to hold and use a larger
amount of productive knowledge, and we can measure it
from the mix of products that countries are able to make.
How Do We Measure Economic Complexity?

20 | THE ATLAS OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
ow do we go from what a country makes to
what a country knows? If making a product
requires a particular type and mix of knowl-
edge, then the countries that make the
product reveal having the requisite knowl-
edge (see Technical Box 2.1). From this simple
observation, it is possible to extract a few
implications that can be used to construct
a measure of economic complexity. First,
countries whose residents and organizations possess more
knowledge have what it takes to produce a more diverse
set of products. In other words, the amount of embedded
knowledge that a country has is expressed in its productive
diversity, or the number of distinct products that it makes.
Second, products that demand large volumes of knowledge
are feasible only in the few places where all the requisite
knowledge is available. We defne ubiquity as the number of
countries that make a product (Figure 2.1). Using this termi-
nology, we can observe that complex products those that
contain many personbytes of knowledgeare less ubiqui-
tous. The ubiquity of a product, therefore, reveals informa-
tion about the volume of knowledge that is required for its
production. Hence, the amount of knowledge that a country
has is expressed in the diversity and ubiquity of the prod-
ucts that it makes.
A game of scrabble is a useful analogy. In scrabble, play-
ers use tiles containing single letters to make words. For in-
stance, a player can use the tiles R, A and C to construct the
word CAR or ARC. In this analogy, each product is repre-
sented by a word, and each capability, or module of embed-
ded knowledge, is represented by a letter. We assume that
each player has plenty of copies of the letters they have. Our
measure of economic complexity corresponds to estimating
what fraction of the alphabet a player possesses, knowing
only how many words he or she can make, and how many
other players can also make those same words.
Players who have more letters will be able to make more
H
words. So we can expect the diversity of words (products)
that a player (country) can make to be strongly related to the
number of letters (capabilities) that he (it) has. Long words
will tend to be rare, since they can only be put together by
players with many letters. Hence, the number of players
that can make a word tells us something about the variety
of letters each word requires: longer words tend to be less
ubiquitous, while shorter words tend to be more common.
Similarly, ubiquitous products are more likely to require few
capabilities, and less ubiquitous products are more likely to
require a large variety of capabilities.
Diversity and ubiquity are, respectively, crude approxi-
mations of the variety of capabilities available in a country
or required by a product. Both of these mappings are af-
fected by the existence of rare letters, such as Q and X. For
instance, players holding rare letters will be able to put to-
gether words that few other players can make, not because
they have many letters, but because the letters that they
have are rare. This is just like rare natural resources, such
as uranium or diamonds. Yet, we can see whether low ubiq-
uity originates in scarcity or complexity by looking at the
number of other words that the makers of rare words are
able to form. If these players can only make a few other
words, then it is likely that rarity explains the low ubiquity.
However, if the players that can make these rare words are,
in general, able to put together many other words, then it
is likely that the low ubiquity of the word refects the fact
that it requires a large number of letters and not just a few
rare ones.
Diversity can therefore be used to correct the informa-
tion carried by ubiquity, and ubiquity can be used to cor-
rect the information carried by diversity. We can take this
process a step further by correcting diversity using a mea-
sure of ubiquity that has already been corrected by diversity
and vice versa. In fact, we can do this an infnite number
of times using mathematics. This process converges after a
few iterations and represents our quantitative measures of

complexity. For countries, we refer to this as the Econom-
ic Complexity Index (ECI). The corresponding measure for
products gives us the Product Complexity Index. Technical
Box 2.2 presents the mathematical defnition of these two
quantities and Ranking 1 lists countries sorted by their ECI.
Figure 2.2 shows a map of the world colored according to a

Consider the case of Singapore and Pakistan. The popula-
tion of Pakistan is 34 times larger than that of Singapore. At
market prices their GDPs are similar since Singapore is 38
times richer than Pakistan in per capita terms. Under the
classifcation we use in this Atlas, they both export a simi-
lar number of different products, about 133. How can prod-
ucts tell us about the conspicuous differences in the level
of development that exist between these two countries?
Pakistan exports products that are on average exported by
28 other countries (placing Pakistan in the 60
th
percentile
of countries in terms of the average ubiquity of their prod-
ucts), while Singapore exports products that are exported
on average by 17 other countries (1
st
percentile). Moreover,
the products that Singapore exports are exported by highly
diversifed countries, while those that Pakistan exports are
exported by poorly diversifed countries. Our mathematical
approach exploits these second, third and higher order dif-
ferences to create measures that approximate the amount
of productive knowledge held in each of these countries. Ul-
timately, what countries make reveals what they know (see
Information Box 2.1).
Take medical imaging devices. These machines are made in
few places, but the countries that are able to make them, such
as the United States or Germany, also export a large number
of other products. We can infer that medical imaging devices

MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 23
are complex because few countries make them, and those
that do tend to be diverse. By contrast, wood logs are exported
by most countries, indicating that many countries have the
knowledge required to export them. Now consider the case
of raw diamonds. These products are extracted in very few
places, making their ubiquity quite low. But is this a refection
of the high knowledge-intensity of raw diamonds? Of course
not. If raw diamonds were complex, the countries that would
extract diamonds should also be able to make many other
things. Since Sierra Leone and Botswana are not very diversi-
fed, this indicates that something other than large volumes
of knowledge is what makes diamonds rare (see Information
Box 2.2 on Product Complexity).
This Atlas relies on international trade data. We made
this choice because it is the only dataset available that has
a rich detailed cross-country information linking countries
to the products that they produce in a standardized clas-
sifcation. As such, it offers great advantages, but it does
have limitations. First, it includes data on exports, not pro-
duction. Countries may be able to make things that they do
not export. The fact that they do not export them, however,
suggests that they may not be very good at them. Coun-
tries may also export things they do not make. To circum-
vent this issue we require that countries export a fair share
of the products we connect them to (see Technical Box 2.1).
Second, because the data is collected by customs offces, it
includes only goods and not services. This is an important
drawback, as services are becoming a rising share of inter-
national trade. Unfortunately, the statistical efforts of most
countries of the world have not kept up with this reality.
Finally, the data does not include information on non-trad-
able activities. These are an important part of the economic
eco-system that allows products and services to be made.
Our current research is focused on fnding implementable
solutions to these limitations, and we hope we will be able
to present them in future versions of this Atlas.
I NFORMATI ON BOX 2 . 1 : AN ALTERNATI VE
WAY TO UNDERSTAND OUR MEASURES
OF ECONOMI C COMPLEXI TY
Understanding the measures of economic complexity described in this At-
las can be sometimes challenging. Analogies, however, can help get our minds
around what the economic complexity index is able to capture.
Think of a particular country and consider a random product. Now, ask
yourself the following question: If this country cannot make this product, in
how many other countries can this product be made? If the answer is many
countries, then this country probably does not have a complex economy. On
the other hand, if few other countries are able to make a product that this
country cannot make, this would suggest that this is a complex economy.
Let us illustrate this with a few examples. According to our measures, Ja-
pan and Germany are the two countries with the highest levels of economic
complexity. Ask yourself the question: If a good cannot be produced in Japan
or Germany, where else can it be made? That list of countries is likely to be
a very short one, indicating that Japan and Germany are complex economies.
Now take an opposite example: if a product cannot be made in Mauritania or
Sudan, where else can it be made? For most products this is likely to be a long
list of countries, indicating that Sudan and Mauritania are among the worlds
least complex economies.
This analogy is useful to understand the difference between economic com-
plexity and the level of income per capita of a country. Two countries that have
high levels of economic complexity, but still low levels of per capita income are
China and Thailand. Ask yourself the question, if you cannot produce it in China
or Thailand, where else can you produce it? That list of countries will tend to be
relatively short. The comparison becomes starker if we restrict it to countries
with a similar level of per capita income, like Iran, Peru and Venezuela, countries
that do not make things that many other can.
At the opposite end of this comparison, there are countries with high levels
of per capita income but relatively low levels of economic complexity. Examples
of this are Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Venezuela, Libya and Chile. These countries
are not rich because of the productive knowledge they hold but because of their
geological luck, given the large volumes of natural resources based wealth.
Ask yourself the question; if you cannot build it in Chile or Venezuela, where
else can you build it? The fact that there are many countries where it would be
possible to produce many things that are not being made in Chile or Venezuela,
including countries with a similar level of income such as Hungary or the Czech
Republic, indicates that the level of economic complexity of these countries is
low, despite their fairly high level of income.
In fact, as we show in this Atlas, the gap between a countrys complexity
and its level of per capita income is an important determinant of future growth:
countries tend to converge to the level of income that can be supported by the
knowhow that is embedded in their economy.

TECHNI CAL BOX 2 . 1 : MEASURI NG ECONOMI C COMPLEXI TY:
If we dene , as a matrix that is 1 if country produces product , and
otherwise, we can measure diversity and ubiquity simply by summing over the
rows or columns of that matrix. Formally, we dene:
To generate a more accurate measure of the number of capabilities available
in a country, or required by a product, we need to correct the information that
diversity and ubiquity carry by using each one to correct the other. For coun-
tries, this requires us to calculate the average ubiquity of the products that it
exports, the average diversity of the countries that make those products and
so forth. For products, this requires us to calculate the average diversity of the
countries that make them and the average ubiquity of the other products that
these countries make. This can be expressed by the recursion:
We then insert (4) into (3) to obtain
and rewrite this as :
We note (7) is satised when .This is the eigenvector of
which is associated with the largest eigenvalue. Since this eigenvector is
a vector of ones, it is not informative. We look, instead, for the eigenvector asso-
ciated with the second largest eigenvalue. This is the eigenvector that captures
the largest amount of variance in the system and is our measure of economic
complexity. Hence, we dene the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) as:
where
where < > represents an average, stdev stands for the standard deviation and
Analogously, we dene a Product Complexity Index (PCI). Because of the
symmetry of the problem, this can be done simply by exchanging the index of
countries (c) with that for products (p) in the denitions above. Hence, we de-

I NFORMATI ON BOX 2 . 2 : THE WORLD S MOST AND LEAST COMPLEX PRODUCTS
Table 2.2.1 and Table 2.2.2 show respectively the products that rank highest
and lowest in the complexity scale. The difference between the worlds most
and less complex products is stark. The most complex products are sophistica-
ted chemicals and machinery that tend to emerge from organizations where a
large number of high skilled individuals participate. The worlds least complex
products, on the other hand, are raw minerals or simple agricultural products.
The economic complexity of a country is connected intimately to the com-
plexity of the products that it exports. Ultimately, countries can only increase
their score in the Economic Complexity Index by becoming competitive in an
increasing number of complex industries.

We use this measure to construct a matrix that connects each country to
the products that it makes. The entries in the matrix are 1 if country exports
product with Revealed Comparative Advantage larger than 1, and o otherwise.
Formally we dene this as the matrix, where
is the matrix summarizing which country makes what, and is used to
construct the product space and our measures of economic complexity for
countries and products. In our research we have played around with cutoff
values other than 1 to construct the matrix and found that our results are
robust to these changes.
Going forward, we smooth changes in export volumes induced by the price
uctuation of commodities by using a modied denition of RCA in which the
denominator is averaged over the previous three years.
TECHNI CAL BOX 2 . 2 : WHO MAKES WHAT ?
When associating countries to products it is important to take into account
the size of the export volume of countries and that of the world trade of prod-
ucts. This is because, even for the same product, we expect the volume of ex-
ports of a large country like China, to be larger than the volume of exports of a
small country like Uruguay. By the same token, we expect the export volume of
products that represent a large fraction of world trade, such as cars or footwear,
to represent a larger share of a countrys exports than products that account for
a small fraction of world trade, like cotton seed oil or potato our.
To make countries and products comparable we use Balassas denition of
Revealed Comparative Advantage or RCA. Balassas denition says that a coun-
try has Revealed Comparative Advantage in a product if it exports more than its
fair share, that is, a share that is equal to the share of total world trade that
the product represents. For example, in 2008, with exports of $42 billion, soy-
beans represented 0.35% of world trade. Of this total, Brazil exported nearly $11
billion, and since Brazils total exports for that year were $140 billion, soybeans
accounted for 7.8% of Brazils exports. This represents around 21 times Brazils
fair share of soybean exports (7.8% divided by 0.35%), so we can say that
Brazil has revealed comparative advantage in soybeans.
Formally, if represents the exports of country in product , we can
express the Revealed Comparative Advantage that country has in product as:
Why Is Economic Complexity Important?

MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 27
s we have argued, economic complexity re-
fects the amount of knowledge that is em-
bedded in the productive structure of an
economy. Seen this way, it is no coincidence
that there is a strong correlation between
our measures of economic complexity and
the income per capita that countries are
able to generate.
Figure 3.1 illustrates the relationship be-
tween the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) and Income per
capita for the 128 countries studied in this Atlas. Here, we
separate countries according to their intensity in natural re-
source exports. We color in red those countries for which
natural resources, such as minerals, gas and oil, represent at
least 10% of GDP. For the 75 countries with a limited relative
presence of natural-resource exports (in blue), economic
complexity accounts for 75 percent of the variance in in-
come per capita. But as the Figure 3.1 illustrates, countries
with a large presence of natural resources can be relatively
rich without being complex. If we control for the income
that is generated from extractive activities, which has more
to do with geology than knowhow, economic complexity can
explain about 73 percent of the variation in income across
all 128 countries. Figure 3.2 shows the tight relationship
between economic complexity and income per capita that
emerges after we take into account a countrys natural re-
source income.
Economic complexity, therefore, is related to a countrys
level of prosperity. As such, it is just a correlation of things
we care about. The relationship between income and com-
plexity, however, goes deeper than this. Countries whose
A
economic complexity is greater than what we would
expect, given their level of income, tend to grow faster
than those that are too rich for their current level of
economic complexity. In this sense, economic complex-
ity is not just a symptom or an expression of prosperity:
it is a driver.
Technical Box 3.1 presents the regression that we use to re-
late economic complexity to subsequent economic growth.
The equation is simple. We regress the growth in per capita
income over 10-year periods on economic complexity, while
controlling for initial income and for the increase in real
natural resource income experienced during that period. We
also include an interaction term between initial income per
capita and the ECI. The increase in the explanatory power of
the growth equation that can be attributed to the Economic
Complexity Index is at least 15 percentage points, or more
than a third of the variance explained by the whole equa-
tion. Moreover, the size of the estimated effect is large: an
increase of one standard deviation in complexity, which is
something that Thailand achieved between 1970 and 1985,
is associated with a subsequent acceleration of a countrys
long-term growth rate of 1.6 percent per year. This is over
and above the growth that would have been expected from
mineral wealth and global trends.
The ability of the ECI to predict future economic growth
suggests that countries tend to move towards an income
level that is compatible with their overall level of embedded
knowhow. On average, their income tends to refect their
embedded knowledge. But when it does not, it gets corrected
through accelerated or diminished growth. The gap between
a countrys level of income and complexity is the key vari-

able that we use here to estimate the growth potential of
countries (Figure 3.3).
It is important to note what the Economic Complexity
Index is not about: it is not about export-oriented growth,
openness, export diversifcation or country size. Although
we calculate the ECI using export data, the channel through
which it contributes to future growth is not limited to its
impact on the growth of exports. Clearly, countries whose
exports grow faster, all other things being equal, will neces-
sarily experience higher GDP growth. This is simply because
exports are a component of GDP. However, as Technical Box
3.2 shows, the contribution of the ECI to future economic
growth remains strong after accounting for the growth in
real exports.
The ECI is also not about openness to trade: the impact of
the ECI on growth is essentially unaffected if we account for
differences in the ratio of exports to GDP. And the ECI is not
a measure of export diversifcation. Controlling for standard
measures of export concentration, such as the Herfndahl-
Hirschman Index, does not affect our results. In fact, neither
openness nor export concentration are statistically signif-
cant determinants of growth after controlling for the ECI
(see Technical Box 3.2).
Finally, the ECI is not about a countrys size. The ability of
the ECI to predict growth is unaffected when we take into
account a countrys size, as measured by its population,
while the population itself is not statistically signifcant (see
Technical Box 3.2).
In short, economic complexity matters because it helps
explain differences in the level of income of countries,
and more important, because it predicts future economic
growth. Economic complexity might not be simple to ac-
complish, but the countries that do achieve it, tend to reap
important rewards.

Economic Complexity Index controlling for initial income and growth in natural resource export [1998]
Shows the relationship between the annualized GDP per capita growth for the period between 1998 and 2008 and the Economic Complexity Index for 1998, after taking into
account the initial level of income and the increase in natural resource exports during that period (in constant dollars as a share of initial GDP).

To analyze the impact of the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) on future eco-
nomic growth we estimate two regressions where the dependent variable is the
annualized growth rate of GDP per capita for the periods 1978-1988, 1988-1998
and 1998-2008. In the rst of these equations we do not include ECI and use
only two control variables: the logarithm of the initial level of GDP per capita in
each period and the increase in natural resource exports in constant dollars as a
share of initial GDP. The rst variable captures the idea that, other things equal,
poorer countries should grow faster than rich countries and catch up. This is
known in the economic literature as convergence. The second control variable
captures the effect on growth of increases in income that come from natural
resource wealth, which complexity does not explain. In addition, we include a
dummy variable for each decade, capturing any common factor affecting all
countries during that decade, such as a global boom or a widespread nancial
crisis. Taken together, these variables account for 28.5 percent of the variance
in countries growth rates. This is shown in the rst column of Table 3.1.1.
In addition to the above mentioned variables, the second regression includes
the effect of economic complexity on growth. We do this by adding two addition-
al terms: the ECI at the beginning of the decade and an interaction term between
the ECI and the initial level of GDP per capita. The interaction attempts to cap-
ture the idea that the contribution of economic complexity to future economic
growth depends on the level of per capita income. The second column of Table
3.1.1 shows that economic complexity is strongly associated with future eco-
nomic growth. The negative coefcient on the interaction term indicates that
the impact of complexity on growth declines with a countrys level of income.
For example, according to the estimation in Column 2, and using data for 1998,
an increase in the ECI of one standard deviation would accelerate growth by 2.3
percent per year in a country at the 10
th
percentile of income, by 1.6 percent in
a country at the median income, and by 0.7 percent for countries in the 90
th

percentile. The variables contained in Column 2 jointly account for 43.4 percent
of the variance in growth rates. The difference between these two regressions
indicates that the ECI increases the regressions R
2
in 15 percentage points. This
represents over a third of the explained fraction of the 43.4 percent of the vari-
ance that the equation explains as a whole.
The estimates of the second column of Table 3.1.1 are used to forecast the
growth in GDP per capita and rank countries according to their growth poten-
tial (See Table 3.1.1). To predict average annualized growth between 2008 and
2020 we make two assumptions. First, we assume a worldwide common growth
term for the decade, which we take to be the same as that observed in the 1998-
2008 period. Changing this assumption would affect the growth rate of all
countries by a similar amount but would not change the rankings. Second, we
assume that there will be no change in the real value of natural resource exports
as a share of initial GDP. This implies that the we assume that natural resource
exports in real terms in the next decade will remain at the record-high levels
achieved in 2008. This assumption may underestimate the effect on countries
whose volumes of natural resource extraction will increase signicantly and
over-estimate the growth in countries that will see their natural-resource export
volumes declines. A higher (lower) constant dollar price of natural resource ex-
ports would improve (reduce) the projected growth performance of countries by
an amount proportional to their natural resource intensity.

TECHNI CAL BOX 3 . 2 : ECONOMI C COMPLEXI TY:
THE VOLUME AND CONCENTRATI ON OF EXPORTS AND COUNTRY SI ZE
This box explores the robustness of the impact of the Economic Complex-
ity Index on growth. While the ECI is constructed using export data, its rela-
tionship with future growth is not driven by export volumes or concentration.
To show this, we start with our basic growth equation (Table 3.2.1, column 1).
Column 2 adds to this equation the increase in the real value of the exports
of goods and services in the decade in question as a fraction of initial GDP.
Exports are a component of GDP, and therefore, we expect them to contribute
to growth. Nevertheless, after including the increase in exports, the effect of
ECI on growth remains strong and signicant. Column 3 introduces export as
a share of GDP. We use this as a measure of openness. Column 4 includes the
Herndahl-Hirschman index as a measure of export concentration. Column 5
includes the log of initial population as a measure of size. This is equivalent to
introducing total GDP, given that we are already controlling for GDP per capita.
The contribution to growth of the variables introduced in columns 3, 4 and 5 are
estimated to be very close to zero, are not statistically signicant and do not
affect the ability of the ECI to predict future economic growth.

How Is Complexity Different

e are certainly not the frst ones to
look for correlates or causal fac-
tors of income and growth. There
are plenty of others who have come
before us. One strand of the litera-
ture has looked at the salience of
institutions in determining growth,
whereas others have looked at hu-
man capital or broader measures
of competitiveness. Clearly, more complex economies have
better institutions, more educated workers and more com-
petitive environments, so these approaches are not com-
pletely at odds with each other or with ours. In fact, institu-
tions, education, competitiveness and economic complexity
emphasize different aspects of the same intricate reality. It
is not clear, however, that these different approaches have
the same ability to capture factors that are verifably impor-
tant for growth and development. In this section, we com-
pare each of these measures with the Economic Complexity
Index and gauge their marginal contribution to income and
economic growth.
measures of governance and institutional quality
Some of the most respected measures of institutional
quality are the six Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGIs),
which the World Bank has published biennially since 1996.
These indicators are used, for example, as eligibility criteria
by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) when se-
lecting the countries they chose to support. These criteria
are based on the direct connection between governance and
growth and poverty reduction.
W
To the extent that governance is important to allow in-
dividuals and organizations to cooperate, share knowledge
and make more complex products, it should be refected in
the kind of industries that a country can support. There-
fore, the Economic Complexity Index indirectly captures in-
formation about the quality of governance in the country.
Which indicator captures information that is more relevant
for growth is an empirical question.
Here we compare the contribution to future economic
growth implied by the WGIs and the ECI using a technique
described in Technical Box 4.1. Since the WGIs are available
only since 1996, we perform this exercise using the 1996-
2008 period as a whole and as two consecutive 6-year pe-
riods. We also compare with each individual WGI and with
the six of them together.
Figure 4.1 shows that the ECI accounts for 15.1 percent of
the variance in economic growth during the 1996-2008 pe-
riod, while the six WGIs combined account only for 1.0 per-
cent. For the estimation using the two six year periods, we
fnd that ECI accounts for 10.5% of the variance in growth,
whereas the six WGIs combined account for 1.6%.
We conclude that as far as future economic growth is con-
cerned, the Economic Complexity Index captures signif-
cantly more growth-relevant information than the 6 World
Governance Indicators, either individually or combined.
This does not mean that governance is not important for the
economy. It suggests that the aspects of governance impor-
tant for growth are weakly refected in the WGIs and appear
to be more strongly refected in the economic activities that
thrive in each country. These may be more effectively cap-
tured by the Economic Complexity Index.
34 | THE ATLAS OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
measures of human capital
Another strand of the growth and development literature
has looked at the impact of human capital on economic
growth. The idea that human capital is important for in-
come and growth is not unrelated to our focus on the pro-
ductive knowledge that exists in a society. The human capi-
tal literature, however, has placed its attention on measures
of formal education. Instead, our approach emphasizes the
tacit productive knowledge that is embedded in a countrys
economic activities.
The standard variables used as a proxy for human capi-
tal are the number of years of formal schooling attained by
those currently of working age, or the school enrollment of
the young (Barro and Lee, 2010). Since these indicators do
not take into account the quality of the education received
by pupils, they have been subject to criticism resulting in
new measures of educational quality. These measures use
test scores from standardized international exams, such as
the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment
(PISA) or the Trend in International Mathematics and Sci-
ence Study (TIMSS). Hanuschek and Woessmann (2008) col-
lected data for all the countries that participated in either
program and used this information to generate a measure of
the cognitive ability of students for a cross-section of coun-
tries around the year 2000.
The information on productive knowhow captured by the
Economic Complexity Index and by measures of human
capital, are not just two sides of the same coin. Analytically,
human capital indicators try to measure how much of the
same knowledge individuals have, whether knowledge is
measured as years of study of the national curriculum or as

the skills mastered by students according to standardized
international tests. In contrast, the Economic Complexity
Index tries to capture the total amount of productive knowl-
edge that is embedded in a society as a whole and is related
to the diversity of knowledge that a society holds. Clearly,
for a complex economy to exist, its members must be able
to read, write and manipulate symbols, such as numbers or
mathematical functions. This is what is taught in schools.
Yet, the converse is not true: the skills acquired in school
may be a poor proxy for the productive knowledge of society.
For example, if a country were to achieve the goal of hav-
ing everybody fnish a good secondary education and if this
was the extent of its productive knowledge, nobody would
know how to make a pair of shoes, a metal knife, a roll of
paper or a patterned piece of cotton fabric. There is a reason
why job offers request years of experience and not just years
of schooling. This means that what a society makes affects
what kinds of knowledge new workers can acquire on the
job. The human capital approach emphasizes the opposite
logic: what workers formally study is what affects what a
society can produce.
Figure 4.2 shows the relationship between our measure
of economic complexity and years of schooling for the year
2000. It is clear that there is positive relationship between
the two (R
2
=50%). Countries like India and Uganda, or Mon-
golia and Mexico, have very similar levels of average formal
education. Yet, they differ dramatically in economic com-
plexity. India is much more complex than Uganda, and Mex-
ico is much more complex than Mongolia.
Figure 4.3 shows that the relationship between cognitive
ability and economic complexity is also positive.Here we
MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 35
fnd that Brazil and Ghana are two countries with similar
levels of cognitive ability, but very different levels of eco-
nomic complexity. Brazil is two standard deviations more
complex than Ghana. The same is true for Colombia and
Nigeria. Their measured cognitive abilities are the same, but
Colombia is nearly 1.5 standard deviations more complex
than Nigeria.
For illustration purposes, consider the case of Ghana and
Thailand. Both countries had similar levels of schooling in
1970, but Ghana expanded education more vigorously than
Thailand in the subsequent 40 years (Figure 4.4). But Ghanas
economic complexity and income stagnated as it remained
an exporter of cocoa, aluminum, fsh and forest products.
By contrast, between 1970 and 1985 Thailand underwent
a massive increase in economic complexity, equivalent to
a change of one standard deviation in the Economic Com-
plexity Index (Figure 4.5). This caused a sustained economic
boom in Thailand after 1985. As a consequence, the level of
income per capita between Ghana and Thailand has since
diverged dramatically (Figure 4.6).
Next, we measure these indicators ability to predict fu-
ture economic growth, using the same technique that we
employed to compare ECI to the WGIs (see Technical Box 4.2).
We begin by looking at the relationship between education,
complexity and a countrys level of income per capita. While
data on years of schooling and school enrollment is avail-
able for several years, the data on educational quality exists
only for a cross-section of countries around the year 2000.
We use the data for this year to estimate equations where
the dependent variable is the level of income per capita
and the independent variables are the years of schooling of
the labor force, the Hanushek and Woessmann measure of
cognitive ability, and the ECI. We do not use school enroll-
ment as this variable affects future human capital but not
the human capital invested in creating todays income. The
results, presented in Figure 4.7, indicate that the Econom-
ic Complexity Index explains 17.2 percent of the variance
while years of schooling and cognitive ability account for
only 3.6 percent of the variance when combined.
We also look at the ability of human capital and complex-
ity to explain future growth. To do this we follow a similar
methodology as before (see Technical Box 4.2). In this case,
we include data on school enrollment at the secondary and
tertiary levels as these would affect the years of schooling
of the labor force going forward. We do not include cogni-
tive ability as this variable exists only for a single year.
Figure 4.8 shows that economic complexity accounts for
12.1 percent of the variance in economic growth rates for
the three decades between 1978 and 2008. All education
variables, on the other hand, account only for 2.6 percent
when combined.
These results show that the Economic Complexity Index
contains information that is more directly related to a coun-
trys level of income and its future rate of growth than the
standard variables used to measure human capital.
measures of competitiveness
Finally, we look at measures of competitiveness. The most
respected source of these measures is the World Economic
Forums Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). The GCI has
been published since 1979. Over the course of more than
30 years, the coverage of the GCI has been expanded and

improved methodologically, going through two major revi-
sions in 2001 and 2006. By 1995, the GCR ranked less than
50 countries, but over the years this number has increased,
now reaching over 130 countries. The claim of the Global
Competitiveness Report is that the index captures the fun-
damental variables that drive growth over the medium term:
We defne competitiveness as the set of institutions,
policies, and factors that determine the level of
productivity of a country. Because the rates of return are
the fundamental drivers of the growth rates of the
economy, a more competitive economy is one that is
likely to grow faster in the medium to long run.
(global competitiveness report 2010. chapter 1.1, page 4)
The GCI develops over 150 measures of elements that it
considers important for competitiveness and then averages
them. The ECI looks, instead, at the actual kinds of industry
that a country can support. Both should capture informa-
tion that is relevant to an economys ability to grow. Which
one does so more effectively is an empirical question that
we address next.
Since we only have data for the GCI rankings, and not the
underlying value of the index, we do the analysis using the
rankings of the Economic Complexity Index instead of its
value. This allows for a fairer comparison. We do compari-
sons using 5 and 10 year panels starting in 1979 and fnd
that the GCI rankings contribute signifcantly less to the
variance of economic growth than the ECI (see Technical Box
4.3 and Figure 4.9).
We conclude that the Economic Complexity Index can ac-
count for a signifcant fraction of the cross-country varia-
tion in income per capita and economic growth, and that
the ECI is a much stronger predictor of growth than other
commonly used indicators that measure human capital,
governance or competitiveness.

the regression using all variables and that obtained for a regression where the
variable in question was removed.

Here we compare the contribution of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI)
and the ECI to economic growth. We use the ranking of countries in the GCI and
the ranking of countries in ECI to predict growth using 5 and 10 year panels.
As controls, we use the increase in natural resource exports during the period
as well as the logarithm of the initial GDP per capita and year xed effects. We
estimate the contribution of the GCI and ECI to growth by taking the difference
Robust standard errors in parentheses *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.1
between the R

obtained for the equation in which they were both included and
that in which one or the other is missing.
Table 4.3.1 shows that eliminating the rank of the ECI from the regression re-
sults in a much larger loss of explanatory power than removing the rank of GCI.
This is true for both 5 and 10 year panels. Figure 4.9 on the main text illustrates
these results.
How Does Economic Complexity Evolve?
SE CT I ON 5
44 | THE ATLAS OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
o economic complexity seems to matter: it
affects a countrys level of income per capita
and drives its future growth. It is also dis-
tinct from what is captured by measures of
human capital, governance and competi-
tiveness. But how does complexity evolve?
How do societies increase the amount of
productive knowledge embedded in them?
What limits the speed of this process? And
why does it happen in some places but not in others?
Again, in our interpretation, the complexity of a countrys
economy refects the amount of productive knowledge it
contains. This knowledge is costly to acquire and transfer,
and is modularized into chunks we call capabilities. Capa-
bilities are diffcult to accumulate because doing so creates
a complicated chicken and egg problem. On the one hand,
countries cannot create products that require capabilities
they do not have. On the other hand, there are scant incen-
tives to accumulate capabilities in places where the indus-
tries that demand them do not exist. This is particularly
true when the missing capabilities required by a potential
new industry are many. In this case, supplying any single
missing capability will not be enough to launch the new in-
dustry, given the absence of the other required capabilities.
In a world in which capabilities are complementary, new
capabilities risk not being demanded simply because other
capabilities are not present.
Consider the following example. A country that does not
export fresh produce probably does not have either a cold-
storage logistic chain, an expedited green lane at the customs
service, or a food safety certifcation system. All are needed by
potential produce exporters. Investors planning to provide the
S
capability to refrigerate and transport fresh produce would
not get any traction because they would still need to certify
their produce and get through customs fairly quickly. Yet, the
systems that provide these services are not in place.
It follows then that new capabilities will be more easily ac-
cumulated if they can be combined with others that already
exist. This reduces the need to coordinate the accumulation
of several new capabilities simultaneously. In our example,
if only the green lane at the customs service was missing, it
would be easier to develop the fresh produce export industry.
For this reason, countries are more likely to move into
products that make use of the capabilities that are already
available. These capabilities are available, however, because
they are being used to make other products. An implica-
tion of this is that a country will diversify by moving from
the products they already produce to others that require a
similar set of embedded knowledge. Arguably, it is easier to
move from shirts to blouses than it is to move from shirts to
engines. This is because, in terms of embedded knowledge,
shirts are more similar to blouses than to engines. A test-
able implication of this logic is that countries will move into
products that are similar, in terms of the capabilities they
require, to the ones they already make.
Measuring the similarity in the capability requirements of
different products is not simple. Identifying the precise tech-
nical and institutional requirements of each product would
involve collecting a mindboggling volume of information.
Instead, here we measure similarity using a simple trick. If
shirts require knowledge that is similar to that required by
blouses, but different from that required by engines, then
the probability that a country exporting shirts will also ex-
port blouses will be higher than the probability that it will

also export engines. So the probability that a pair of products
is co-exported carries information about how similar these
products are. We use this idea to measure the proximity be-
tween all pairs of products in our dataset (see Technical Box
5.1 on Measuring Proximity). The collection of all proximities
is a network connecting pairs of products that are signif-
cantly likely to be co-exported by many countries. We refer
to this network as the product space and use it to study the
productive structure of countries.
We care about the structure of the product space because
it affects the ability of countries to move into new products.
Products that are tightly connected share most of the req-
uisite capabilities. If this is the case, then countries that al-
ready have what it takes to make one product will fnd it
relatively easy to move to the next ones. A highly connected
product space, therefore, makes the problem of growing the
complexity of an economy easier. Conversely, a sparsely
connected product space makes it harder.
Once again, a metaphor may help to clarify these ideas.
Imagine that the product space is a forest, where every prod-
uct is a tree. Trees that require similar capabilities are near
each other in the forest. Distant trees require very different
capabilities. If countries are a collection of frms that make
different products, we can think of frms as monkeys that live

on trees, meaning that they exploit certain products. Coun-
tries differ in the number and location of their monkeys in
this common forest. The development process, which implies
increasing product diversity and complexity, is akin to mon-
keys colonizing the forest, occupying more trees, and moving
especially into the more complex or fruitier ones.
When monkeys jump to nearby trees it minimizes the
chicken and egg problem of having to accumulate several
missing capabilities at once. Furthermore, if trees are dense-
ly packed together it will be relatively easy for monkeys to
move from tree to tree and populate the forest. But if trees
are far apart, monkeys may be stuck in their current activi-
ties. If the product space is heterogeneous, there may be
some patches of highly related products, where adding ca-
pabilities and expanding into new products would be easier,
and other patches of more loosely connected products that
make the process of capability accumulation and diversif-
cation harder.
What is the shape of the product space we live in? Is it
a world in which the forest is dense or sparse? Figure 5.1
shows a visualization of the product space constructed us-
ing international trade data for the years 2006-2008. Here,
nodes represent products and their size is proportional to
total world trade in that good. Links connect products with
a high probability of being co-exported (see Technical Box 5.2).
The visualization reveals that the product space is highly
heterogeneous. Some sections of it are composed of densely
connected groups of products whereas others tend to be
more peripheral and sparse.
The product space shows that many goods group natu-
rally into highly connected communities. This suggests that
products in these communities use a similar set of capa-
bilities. We can identify communities because the products
that belong to them are more closely connected to each oth-
er than to products outside of the community.Here, we use
network science algorithms to discover the communities of
products that are hidden in the data (see Technical Box 5.3 for
a discussion of the method). We use these communities to
make the discussion of products more tractable. The nearly
800 products in the SITC4 classifcation were grouped into
34 communities, which we identify by color in our visualiza-
tion of the product space (Figure 5.1). The names, complexity,
market size and other characteristics of the communities
appear in Table 5.1.
Figure 5.2 shows a visualization of the product space that
is similar to Figure 5.1, but where the size of the nodes is pro-
portional to the complexity of products they represent, as
estimated by the Product Complexity Index (PCI). It shows
that communities tend to have similar levels of complexity.

munities tend to be much more complex than those in the
garments cluster or in peripheral communities such as Oil
and Tropical Agriculture.
Figure 5.3 shows some of the network characteristics of
these communities. Connectedness is a measure of how cen-
trally located a community is in the product space. It is the
average proximity of a communitys products to all other
products, where proximity is the measure of distance be-
tween two products used to construct the product space.
The fgure shows the average connectedness of the products
in each community and their average complexity estimated
by PCI. The fgure reveals a positive relationship between
how centrally located the communities are in the product
space and how complex their products are. Poorly connected
communities such as petroleum, cotton, rice and soybeans
tend to be low in complexity. Machinery, by contrast, is very
complex and highly connected. Sectors such as garments,
textiles and food processing are, on the other hand, in an
intermediate position, being connected but not very sophis-
ticated. Electronics and health-related chemicals, however,
are also very complex but not as connected as machinery.
This suggests they use specifc capabilities relevant within
their communities but not outside of them.
Previous research has shown that the probability that
a country will make a new product is strongly related to
how close that product is to other products the country al-
ready makes. So the location of a country in the product
space captures information regarding both the productive
knowledge that it possesses and the capacity to expand that
knowledge by moving into other nearby products. The abil-
ity of countries to diversify and to move into more complex
products is crucially dependent on their initial location in
the product space.
The product space gives us a glimpse of the embedded
knowledge of countries by highlighting the productive capa-
bilities they posses and the opportunities these imply.We can
evaluate a countrys overall position in the product space by
calculating how far it is to alternative products and how com-
plex these products are. We call this measure opportunity value
and it can be thought of as the value of the option to move into
more and more complex products (see Technical Box 5.4).
Figure 5.4 compares opportunity value with the Economic
Complexity Index and income. It shows that countries with
low levels of complexity tend to have few opportunities avail-
able. This is because the products they do create tend to be
peripheral in the product space. Complex economies tend to
have few remaining opportunities because they already oc-
cupy a large fraction of the better part of the product space.
Countries with an intermediate level of complexity, on the
other hand, differ largely in their opportunity value. Some

48 | THE ATLAS OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
total amount of productive knowledge embedded in them?
Here we have shown that countries expand their produc-
tive knowledge by moving into nearby goods. This increases
the likelihood that the effort to accumulate any additional
capability will be successful, as the complementary capa-
bilities needed to make a new product are more likely to be
present in the production of the nearby goods.
What limits the speed of this process? Since capabilities
are useful only when combined with others, the accumula-
tion of capabilities is slowed down by the chicken and egg
problem. New products may require capabilities that do not
exist precisely because the other products that use them are
not present. Moreover, since capabilities are chunks of tacit
knowledge, accumulating them is diffcult even when there
is demand for them, because the country does not have any
exemplars to copy.
Most important, why does this process of development
occur in some places, but not in others? There are many
answers to this question. Our approach adds an alternative
answer by showing that a countrys position in the product
space determines its opportunities to expand its produc-
tive knowledge and increase its level of economic complex-
ity. But the product space is highly heterogeneous, placing
countries in radically different settings. Ultimately, develop-
ment is the expression of the total amount of productive
knowledge that is embedded in a society. But the process by
which this knowledge is accumulated has a structure that
we are only now starting to understand.

countries like Saudi Arabia, Jamaica and Chile, are located in
parts of the product space that imply few opportunities. Oth-
ers, like India, Greece, Turkey, Brazil and Indonesia are located
in parts of the product space where opportunities are plenti-
ful. Figure 5.4 also shows that countries with similar incomes
face dramatically different opportunities.
Finally, we illustrate how countries move through the prod-
uct space by looking at Ghana, Poland, Thailand and Turkey
(Figure 5.5). Here, square nodes with thick black outlines are
used to indicate the products that each of these countries
was exporting at each point in time. In all cases we see that
new industries new black squares tend to lie close to the
industries already present in these countries. The productive
transformation undergone by Poland, Thailand and Turkey,
however, look striking compared to that of Ghana. Thailand
and Turkey, in particular, moved from mostly agricultural so-
cieties to manufacturing powerhouses during the 1975-2009
period. Poland, also exploded towards the center of the prod-
uct space during the last two decades, becoming a manufac-
turer of most products in both the home and offce and the
processed foods community and signifcantly increasing its
participation in the production of machinery. These trans-
formations imply an increase in embedded knowledge that
is refected in our Economic Complexity Index. Ultimately,
it is these transformations that underpinned the impressive
growth performance of these countries.
We started this section asking several questions: How
does complexity evolve? And how do societies increase the

TECHNI CAL BOX 5. 2 : VI SUALI ZI NG THE PRODUCT SPACE
To visualize the product space we use some simple design criteria. First, we
want the visualization of the product space to be a connected network. By this,
we mean avoiding islands of isolated products. The second criteria is that we
want the network visualization to be relatively sparse. Trying to visualize too
many links can create unnecessary visual complexity where the most relevant
connections will be occluded. This criteria is achieved by creating a visualiza-
tion in which the average number of links per node is not larger than 5 and re-
sults in a representation that can summarize the structure of the product space
using the strongest 1% of the links.
To make sure the visualization of the product space is connected, we calcu-
late the maximum spanning tree (MST) of the proximity matrix. MST is the set
of links that connects all the nodes in the network using a minimum number
of connections and the maximum possible sum of proximities. We calculated
the MST using Kruskals algorithm. Basically the algorithm sorts the values of
the proximity matrix in descending order and then includes links in the MST if
and only if they connect an isolated product. By denition, the MST includes all
products, but the number of links is the minimum possible.
The second step is to add the strongest connections that were not selected
for the MST. In this visualization we included the rst 1,006 connections sat-
isfying our criterion. By denition a spanning tree for 774 nodes contains 773
edges. With the additional 1,006 connections we end up with 1,779 edges and
an average degree of nearly 4.6.
After selecting the links using the above mentioned criteria we build a visu-
alization using a Force-Directed layout algorithm. In this algorithm nodes repel
each other, just like electric charges, while edges act as spring trying to bring
connected nodes together. This helps to create a visualization in which densely
connected sets of nodes are put together while nodes that are not connected
are pushed apart.
Finally, we manually clean up the layout to minimize edge crossings and pro-
vide the most clearly representation possible.
To make products you need chunks of embedded knowledge which we call
capabilities. The capabilities needed to produce one good may or may not be
useful in the production of other goods. Since we do not observe capabilities
directly, we create a measure that infers the similarity between the capabili-
ties required by a pair of goods by looking at the probability that they are co-
exported. To quantify this similarity we assume that if two goods share most
of the requisite capabilities, the countries that export one will also export the
other. By the same token, goods that do not share many capabilities are less
likely to be co-exported.
Our measure is based on the conditional probability that a country that ex-
ports product will also export product (Figure 5.1.1). Since conditional prob-
abilities are not symmetric we take the minimum of the probability of exporting
product , given and the reverse, to make the measure symmetric and more

stringent. For instance, in the year 2008, 17 countries exported wine, 24 ex-
ported grapes and 11 exported both, all with RCA>1. Then, the proximity between
wines and grapes is 11/24=0.46. Note that we divide by 24 instead of 17 to mini-
mize false positives. Formally, for a pair of goods and we dene proximity as:

TECHNI CAL BOX 5. 3 : I DENTI F YI NG PRODUCT COMMUNI TI ES
In network science, groups of highly interconnected nodes are known as
communities. In the Product Space, communities represent groups of products
that are likely to require many of the same capabilities.
We assign products to communities using the algorithm introduced by Ros-
vall and Bergstrom (2008). This algorithm nds communities using a two step
process. First, it explores the network using a collection of random walkers. The
intuition behind this rst step is that nodes belonging to the same community
are more likely to lie close by in the sequence of nodes visited by a random
walker. For instance, take photographic lm, photographic chemicals and sili-
cones. These are three products that are interconnected and belong to a dense-
ly connected region of the product space. Hence, the random walker is much
more likely to go through the sequences {silicones, photographic chemicals,
photographic lm} or {photographic lm, silicones, photographic chemicals}
than {photographic lm, grapes, blouses}. The emergence of these sequences
indicates that photographic lm, photographic chemicals and silicones, prob-
ably belong to the same community. After several iterations of random walks
have been recorded, the algorithm tries to compresses these sequences by
looking for ways to rename nodes and minimize the amount of space required
to store information about these sequences. For instance, if silicones, photo-
graphic lms, and photographic chemicals are grouped into a community called
photographic materials this would allow compressing the sequence by replac-
ing each time it appears by a reference to that community. The algorithm looks
for a compression that preserves as much information as possible. This avoids
the trivial solution in which all products are assigned to the same community.
The communities determined through this algorithm were manually named
and merged into 34 communities (see Table 5.1 for details).
We compare the ability of these communities to summarize the structure of
the product space by introducing a measure of community quality. This is the
ratio between the average proximity of the links within a community, and those
connecting products from that community to products in other communities.
To get a sense of the community quality we compare our assignment of prod-
ucts into communities with a baseline null model and three popular categoriza-
tions. The baseline null model is given by an ensemble of communities of the
same size, where nodes have been assigned to each community at random. In
this case, the average strength of the links within communities is equal to the
average strength of links between communities, and the community quality is 1.
The three categorizations we use as comparators are: the rst digit of the Stan-
dard International Trade Classication, the categories introduced by Leamer
(1984) -based on factor intensities- and the technology categories introduced
by Lall (2000). All three classications produce values of the community qual-
ity between 1.3 and 1.4, indicating that links within communities tend to be, on
average, 30% to 40% stronger than those between communities. The communi-
ties we propose here have a community quality value of 1.94, indicating that the
links between nodes in the same community are, on average, 94% stronger than
those connecting nodes between communities (Figure 5.3.1). The difference in
community quality of our proposed community system and that of the three al-
ternative categorizations is highly statistically signicant with a -value<1x10

TECHNI CAL BOX 5. 4: UNDERSTANDI NG THE POSI TI ON OF COUNTRI ES I N THE
PRODUCT SPACE: DI STANCE, OPPORTUNI TY VALUE AND OPPORTUNI TY GAI N
Empirically, we nd that countries move through the product space by deve-
loping goods close to those they currently produce. But countries do not make
just one product; they make a certain number. Proximity measures the simila-
rity between a pair of products, so we need another measure to quantify the
distance between the products that a country makes and each of the products
that it does not. We call this measure distance and dene it as the sum of the
proximities connecting a new good p to all the products that country is not cu-
rrently exporting. We normalize distance by dividing it by the sum of proximities
between all products and product . In other words, distance is the weighted
proportion of products connected to good p that country c is not exporting. The
weights are given by proximities. If country exports most of the goods connec-
ted to product , then the distance will be short, close to 0. But, if country only
exports a small proportion of the products that are related to product , then the
distance will be large (close to 1). Formally, Where PCI is the Product Complexity Index of product . The term
makes sure that we count only the products that the country is not currently
producing. Higher opportunity value implies being in the vicinity of more pro-
ducts and/or of products that are more complex.
We can use opportunity value to calculate the potential benet to a country
if it were to move to a particular new product. We call this the opportunity
gain that country c would obtain from making product . This is calculated as
the change in opportunity value that would come as a consequence of develo-
ping product . Opportunity gain quanties the contribution of a new product in
terms of opening up the doors to more and more complex products. Formally, we
can write the opportunity gain as:
Distance gives us an idea of how far each product is given a countrys cu-
rrent mix of exports. Yet, it would be useful to have a holistic measure of the
opportunities implied by a countrys position in the product space. Countries
that make products that are relatively complex, given their current level of inco-
me, tend to grow faster. Hence, it makes sense to include not only the distance
to products, but also their complexity. Some countries may be located near few,
poorly connected and relatively simple products, while others may have a rich
unexploited neighborhood of highly connected or complex products. This means
that countries differ not just in what they make but in what their opportunities
are. We can think of this as the value of the option to move into other products.
Hence, to quantify the opportunity value of a countrys unexploited pros-
pects we can add the level of complexity of the products that it is not currently
weighted by how close these products are to the countrys current export suite.
We can write this mathematically as:
How Can This Atlas Be Used?

56 | THE ATLAS OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY
n recent years there has been an explosion in the
use of indexes to rank countries, corporations, cit-
ies and other entities in terms of a myriad of in-
dicators. We have the Human Development Index,
put together by the United Nations Development
Program (UNDP), the Freedom Houses Freedom In-
dex, the World Banks Doing Business, Investment
Climate Assessment and Governance indexes, the
World Economic Forums Competitiveness, Gender
Gap and Trade Facilitation indexes, the OECDs Programme
for International Student Assessment (PISA), the credit rat-
ings of governments and corporations put together by Stan-
dard & Poors, Moodys and Fitch, and the Quality of De-
velopment Assistance published by the Center for Global
Development.
The popularity and usefulness of these efforts refect the
fact that they provide feedback about the relative perfor-
mance of an entity on dimensions that societies fnd impor-
tant and that the publishers want to highlight. The indexes
may help the rated entities to evolve towards better out-
comes by benchmarking current performance, vis-a-vis the
best achievers, and by encouraging learning through imita-
tion and experimentation around best practices.
Here it may be useful to distinguish between the two roles
of any indicator. The frst one is as a measure and the second
one is as a guide to action. As a measure, the critical ques-
tion is whether the index is able to adequately represent the
information that one wants to capture, whether it is free-
dom, human development, solvency, business environment,
governance, educational quality or, in our case, productive
knowledge. As a guide to action the question is what inter-
I
ventions will lead an entity to improve its performance on
the index.
With respect to the latter question, indexes differ in how
clearly they map to a plan of action. At one extreme, the
World Banks Doing Business Index is based on the statutory
requirements to perform certain functions such as register-
ing and closing a business or obtaining a license. Here the
course of action is clear: change the statutes in a direction
that would improve the re-calculated index. However, in
other cases, such as improving rule of law, educational qual-
ity, gender equality, the control of corruption or competitive-
ness, the mapping is not so clear. It is hard to know precisely
which changes in current practice would be refected in bet-
ter performance. This is a general problem in many areas
where the relationship between action and performance is
complex. Should schools reduce class size, improve teacher
training, increase nutritional assistance or implement stan-
dardized exams in order to improve educational quality?
Should societies get more policemen, revamp the judicial
system, encourage press freedom, revise their gun laws or
confront organized crime in order to improve rule of law?
The best humans have been able to do is to emulate some
of the features of the best performers in the hopes that the
elements that were selected for imitation may prove cru-
cial to the achievement of better outcomes. If they do, this
will hopefully be refected in future measures of the index. If
they do not, other actions will be tried until the action taken
is consistently followed by a change in the desired direction.
In our case, the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) is based
on the number and the complexity of the products that a
country exports with comparative advantage. Empirically,
MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 57
countries that do well in this index, given their income lev-
el, tend to achieve higher levels of economic growth. The
ability to successfully export new products is a refection
of the fact that the country has acquired new productive
knowledge that will then open up further opportunities for
progress. What a country needs to do to achieve this will be
highly specifc to the context of the country and the prod-
uct. Better seeds could cause an agricultural revolution; im-
proved infrastructure could open up new possibilities for
light manufactures; clarifying property rights and human
subject regulations may allow for participation in pharma-
ceutical research; changing the responsiveness of training
institutions to the needs of new sectors may unleash their
growth; etc.
The Economic Complexity Index is not easy to manipu-
late through a narrow set of decisions. Ultimately, countries
improve on the index by being able to increase the number
of different activities they can successfully engage in and by
moving towards activities that are more complex. The policy
message for most countries is clear: create an environment
where a greater diversity of productive activities can thrive
and, in particular, activities that are relatively more com-
plex. Countries are more likely to succeed in this agenda if
they focus on products that are close to their current set of
productive capabilities, as this would facilitate the identi-
fcation and provision of the missing capabilities. The ECI
therefore, is accompanied by maps that help chart the op-
portunities and rewards available for each country. These
are maps that are specifc to each country and do not repre-
sent one-size-fts-all development advice.
These maps, however, could also be used by frms search-
ing for a new location or looking to diversify into a new
product. These maps carry information about the produc-
tive capabilities that are present in a given country and the
degree to which these capabilities are relevant to support a
particular new industry.
A map does not tell people where to go, but it does help
them determine their destination and chart their journey to-
wards it. A map empowers by describing opportunities that
would not be obvious in the absence of it. If the secret to
development is the accumulation of productive knowledge,
at a societal rather than individual level, then the process
necessarily requires the involvement of many explorers, not
just a few planners. This is why the maps we provide in this
Atlas are intended for everyone to use.
Which Countries Are Included in This Atlas?

ountries are highly heterogeneous. When it
comes to the size of their population, terri-
tory, income and economy, countries differ
by orders of magnitude. When it comes to
land, Russia is 1,000 times larger than Ku-
wait. When it comes to population, China is
more than 600 times more populous than
Slovenia. When it comes to Gross Domes-
tic Product, the United States is more than
1,300 times larger than Namibia. All of these are countries
that made it into this Atlas, illustrating the large cross sec-
tion of the world captured in this book.
Products also differ enormously in terms of their world
market size. Depending on the year, crude oil represents fve
to ten percent of world trade while goat skins represent less
than one part in one hundred thousand of world trade. To
make countries and products comparable we control for the
size of the country and of the product by calculating their
Revealed Comparative Advantage (see Technical Box 2.2). This
means that large and small countries and products with big
and small markets count the same as far as our method is
concerned. Moreover, the data of each country affects the
calculations of all others so including data that is noisy or
unreliable greatly affects the integrity of our calculations.
Countries that are too small in terms of their export base,
such as Tuvalu or Vanuatu, or with data that is highly un-
reliable or not adequately classifed, do not provide us with
a suffciently broad sample to infer their structure. This is
why we restrict the analysis to 128 countries, which account
for 99% of world trade, 97% of the worlds total GDP and 95%
of the worlds population.
To generate this list we used a variety of criteria. First, we
C
limit ourselves only to the set of countries for which there
is product-level trade data available in the UN COMTRADE
and income data available for 2008. Second, we only use
data on countries with a population above 1,200,000. Third,
we only consider countries that exported at least 1 billion
dollars per year, on average, between 2006 and 2008. Finally
we remove from this sample Iraq, Macau and Chad, three
countries with severe data quality issues (Figure 7.1).

In this part we present ve different rankings. These rankings sort countries according to:
Each of these ve rankings captures a different aspect of the world economy. This is well illustrated by the ve countries that make it to the top of each ranking.
According to the aforementioned ranking order, these are: Japan, China, Uganda, Mauritius and The United States. The heterogeneity of this group shows the wide
range of dimensions that are captured by these ve different rankings (Table 1). Next, we comment each one of them briey, and invite readers to explore them by
themselves.

Economic Complexity Index

ranking 1 shows the Economic Complexity ranking. Here
countries are sorted based on the amount of productive knowl-
edge that is implied in their export structures (see Part 1, Section
2: How do we measure economic complexity?). The countries in
the top ten of this ranking are Japan, Germany, Switzerland,
Sweden, Austria, Finland, Singapore, Czech Republic, the UK
and Slovenia. Immediately after the top 10 we have France,
Korea and the US. Of the top 20 countries, half are in Western
Europe, 3 are in East Asia, and surprisingly 4 are in Eastern
Europe. Israel and Mexico close the list of the top 20. These are
countries with productive structures that are able to hold vast
amounts of productive knowledge, and that manufacture and
export a large number of sophisticated goods. At the bottom of
the economic complexity ranking we have Papua New Guinea,
The Republic of Congo, Sudan, Angola and Mauritania. Figure 1
illustrates the relative levels of economic complexity of coun-
tries in Ranking 1 by plotting ECI as a function of a countrys
current level of GDP per capita. In Map 1, countries are color
coded according to their position in ranking 1.
Interestingly the least complex countries in Western Eu-
rope are Portugal (35) and Greece (53), two countries whose
high income cannot be explained by either their complexity
or their natural resource wealth. We do not think that this is
unrelated to their present diffculties: their current income
has been propped up by massive capital infows and, as these
decline to more sustainable levels, the internal weaknesses
come to the fore. The ECI, however, illustrates clearly how
these mismatches can be identifed from the data.
by region:
By region, the most complex economies in Eastern Europe
and Central Asia are the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Hun-
gary, while the worst performing ones are Tajikistan, Turk-
menistan and Azerbaijan. In Latin America and the Carib-
bean the best performers are Mexico (ranked 20), Panama
(30) and Costa Rica (49); Brazil ranks fourth (52 in the world-
wide scale) followed by Colombia (54). The worst performers
are Ecuador (93), Nicaragua (97), Bolivia (101) and Venezuela
(111). In East Asia and the Pacifc, the best performers are Ja-
pan (1), Singapore (7) and Korea (12), followed by Hong Kong
(24), China (29) and Thailand (31). The worst performers are
Lao (102), Mongolia (113) and Papua New Guinea (124).
In South Asia, the best performing country is India (51)
followed by Sri Lanka (71) and Pakistan (82). The list is closed
by Bangladesh (103).
Finally, In Sub-Saharan Africa the most complex econo-
mies are South Africa (55), Namibia (72), Kenya (73), Senegal
(74) and Mauritius (77). The worst performers are Guinea
(123), the Republic of Congo (125), Sudan (126), Angola (127)
and Mauritania (128). We note that many African countries
are not in the rank because they did not satisfy our data flter-
ing criteria (see Part 1, Section 7: Which countries are in the Atlas?).
In the Middle East and North Africa, the best perform-
ers are Israel (19), Lebanon (44), Jordan (45), Tunisia (47) and
Egypt (53). The worst performers are Kuwait (116), Iran (118)
and Libya (119), where the overwhelming presence of oil indi-
cates a narrow base of productive knowledge.

Expected Growth in Per Capita GDP to 2020
MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 69
ranking 2 sorts countries according to their expected an-
nual per capita growth. Here countries are sorted accord-
ing to their per capita growth potential, which is estimated
from the mismatch between a countrys current level of ag-
gregate output (GDP per capita) and their level of economic
complexity (see Part 1, Section 3: Why is complexity important?).
China, India and Thailand are at the top of this ranking,
since they are countries with economies that are remark-
ably complex, given their current level of income, and are
expected to catch up faster than other developing nations.
Next come Belarus, Moldova, Zimbabwe, Ukraine and Bos-
nia-Herzegovina, fve countries where the current level of
income is dramatically lower than what one would expect
given their productive capabilities. This ranking shows that
the two regions of the world where the potential of per cap-
ita growth is higher are East Asia and Eastern Europe (Map
2). At the bottom of this ranking we have Sudan, Angola and
Mauritania. These are developing countries where the com-
plexity of their economies does not provide a basis for fu-
ture economic growth, and, where changes in income are
dominated by fuctuations in the price and volume of natu-
ral resource activities. Per capita growth potential as a func-
tion of GDP per capita is illustrated in Figure 2.
The projection presented here is driven mainly by the gap
between the initial level of complexity of an economy and its
level of income. Countries whose income level is low relative
to their complexity will grow faster. The opposite occurs for
countries whose initial income is high, relative to their initial
complexity. The projection requires an assumption about the
evolution of natural resource exports. We assume that they
will remain constant in real terms at the high level achieved
in 2008. We believe this hypothesis is reasonable on average,
as commodity prices were unusually high in 2008. To the ex-
tent that prices deviate from this assumption, so will growth.
We do not include information regarding the changes in the
extraction volumes of natural resource in the different coun-
tries, so we will tend to underestimate growth in countries
where natural resource production is expanding faster than
population and overestimating it where it is falling.
by region:
By region, the top performers in East Asia and the Pacifc
are China (1), Thailand (3), Philippines (11), Vietnam (12) and
Malaysia (20), while the worst performance is expected in
New Zealand (93), Mongolia (107), Australia (114), and Papua
New Guinea (123). In South Asia, India is the regional leader
(2), while Bangladesh is the laggard (65).
In the Middle East and North Africa, the expected leaders
in GDP per capita growth are Jordan (14), Egypt (18) and Tu-
nisia (19), while the laggards are Libya (120), Qatar (122) and
Kuwait (124), three oil exporters that are dragged down by
their low complexity and by our assumption that oil exports
per real terms will remain at 2008 levels.
In Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the leaders in GDP
per capita growth are expected to be Belarus (4), Moldova
(5), Ukraine (7) and Bosnia (8). The laggards would be Kaza-
khstan (98), Turkmenistan (109) and Azerbaijan (112), three
low-complexity oil exporters. To the extent that they will
carry out their planned expansion in their oil exports, their
growth performance will be better than we project.
In Latin America the leaders are Panama (9), Mexico (10),
El Salvador (31), Guatemala (35) and Colombia (36), while the
laggards are expected to be Chile (86), Bolivia (89), Trinidad
and Tobago (103) and Venezuela (115), four exporters of natu-
ral resources. Brazil ranks 8th in the region and 48th in the
world in expected GDP per capita growth.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the growth leaders are expected to
be Zimbabwe (6), Kenya (13), Uganda (24) and Senegal (25),
while the laggards are expected to be Sudan (126), Angola
(127) and Mauritania (128).

ranking 3 shows the ranking for total GDP growth. This
ranking is dominated by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. The
three East African nations have a level of complexity that
is higher than would be expected given their very low level
of income, and occupy the positions 24, 13 and 39 of the
rankings of growth in GDP per capita. However, they reach
top of the total GDP growth because of their expected lev-
els of high population growth (we use forecast of popula-
tion growth rates to the year 2020 performed by United Na-
tions
1
). With the exception of India and Guatemala, 8 out
of the 10 countries at the top of Ranking 3 are from Africa.
Also, the ranking shows that we expect Indias total GDP
growth to top Chinas. Map 3 shows the geographic pattern
of total GDP growth, and Figure 3 plots total GDP growth as a
function of GDP per capita.

Change in Economic Complexity (1964-2008)
MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 81
ranking 4 looks at changes in economic complexity. Here
countries are ranked according to the change in ECI experi-
enced between 1964 and 2008. Because of data availability,
this ranking is limited to 101 countries. The countries that
improved the most during this period are Mauritius, Thailand
and Malaysia. Other countries that underwent substantial
transformation during this period were Singapore, Indone-
sia, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Turkey. All of these were
countries that dramatically transformed their economies
during this forty-four year period (see Part 1, Section 5: How
does economic complexity evolve?). These transformations can
be seen in detail in their respective country pages. Figure 4.1
shows the change in ECI observed between 1964 and 2008 as
a function of a countrys current level of income. Map 4 illus-
trates the spatial distribution of these changes. Figure 4 pro-
vides a visual representation of the change in ECI rankings.
Here, each line represents a country, and the vertical position
of the line indicates the position on the ranking for a given
year. Lines were assigned a color using a perfect gradient ac-
cording to their ranking in the initial year (1964). This helps
identify movements in the ranking of economic complexity
during the observed period.
by region:
By region, in East Asia and the Pacifc the countries that
changed their economic complexity the most were Thailand
(2), Malaysia (3), Singapore (4) and Indonesia (5). China oc-
cupies the 31st position in this ranking. The relatively low
position of China in this ranking refects the fact that Chi-
nas transformation built on a productive structure that was
more sophisticated than that of many of its regional neigh-
bors. The laggards of this region are Papua New Guinea (78),
Australia (95) and Mongolia (97).
In South Asia the best performing country was Sri Lanka
(16), while Pakistan (73) is the laggard.
In Eastern Europe and Central Asia the top performers were
Turkey (10) and Romania (19). The lack of historical data for
the region is substantial, however, since many of the coun-
tries in the region used to belong to the Soviet Union and we
do not have good data on their productive structure.
In Latin America the countries that experienced the largest
change in economic complexity were Brazil (7), Dominican
Republic (8) and Mexico (12). The laggards were El Salvador
(86), Chile (87) and Venezuela (92). In the Middle East and
North Africa, Saudi Arabia (9), Libya (11) and Tunisia (20) were
the countries that increased their ECI the most, while the lag-
gards were Morocco (90), which used to be one of the most
complex economies of the region, Iran (91) and Algeria (98).
Finally, in Western Europe the change in ECI between 1964
and 2008 is dominated by that of Finland (26), Spain (39)
and Ireland (46) and the laggards of the region were Portugal
(84), Belgium (89) and Norway (96). We note that Western
Europe is a region in which all countries have always had
positive values of the ECI, which limits the range of poten-
tial positive changes.

Expected Contribution to World GDP Growth to 2020
MAPPING PATHS TO PROSPERITY | 87
Finally, ranking 5 sorts countries according to their ex-
pected contribution to total world GDP growth in the peri-
od to 2020. As expected, the ranking is dominated by large
economies. The United States and China are expected to be
the largest contributors and are followed more distantly by
Japan and India. What is worth highlighting from ranking 5
is the much larger importance of developing countries in the
contribution to global growth. This is highlighted by the very
large difference in incomes per capita between the top four
countries. Consumers from China, India, Brazil and Mexico
will now be a more important part of global economic dy-
namism, but, given that their lower incomes, their needs are
radically different from those of the richer countries that
have until now led the growth process. This will shape im-
portant changes in the demand structure of future growth.
Figure 5 illustrates Ranking 5 by plotting the expected con-
tribution to total GDP of each country as a function of GDP
per capita. Map 5 shows the spatial distribution of Ranking 5.
by region:
In Western Europe the top contributors to world GDP growth
will be Germany (5), France (6) and United Kingdom (7). In
Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Russia (14), Turkey (15) and
Poland (20) are expected to be the leaders. Brazil (8), Mexi-
co (10), Argentina (22) and Colombia (23) will be the largest
Latin American contributors. In the Middle East and North
Africa, the top contributors are Saudi Arabia (18), Egypt (24)
and Israel (33).
In South Asia, the top contributor to world GDP growth
will be India (4) followed distantly by Pakistan (31). South
Africa (28), Nigeria (38) and Angola (62) will lead the regional
ranking in Sub-Saharan Africa.

MA P 5 :
F I G U R E 5 :
Illustrates Ranking 5 by plotting the expected contribuyion to total GDP of each country as a fuction of GDP per capita.
Shows the spatial distribution of Ranking 5.
COUNTRY PAGES
PA R T 3
1 . I DE NT I T Y:
Here we identify the country
using its name and ag.
2 . MAI N I NDI CATORS :
This section shows the Economic Complexity Index
(ECI) for the year 2008 and the expected average
annualized growth for the 2009-2020 period.
The rst number shows the value of the indicator.
Numbers in parenthesis show the global ranking
and the regional ranking for the country.
7. E VOL UT I ON OF E XP ORT COMP OS I T I ON:
This section shows the evolution of the countrys exports per capita
in dollars between 1968 and 2008 at constant 2008 prices.
Colors indicate product communities.These are indicated in the top
right corner of the next page (for states that were formed after 1968,
we use as starting year the rst year for which data is available).
5 . T HE P RODUCT S PACE :
This section shows the position of a country in the
product space. The product space is the network
summarizing global similarities in the productive
knowhow required by products (see Chapter
5). Nodes represent products and are colored
according to communities using the color legend
that can be found at the top right of the next page.
Node size is proportional to global trade in that
product and links connect products that tend to
be exported by the same countries (see Technical
Box 5.1). The footprint of a country on the product
space is indicated using square nodes with thick
black outlines. These are the goods that the
country exports with RCA>1 (see Chapter 2).
6 . E XP ORT OP P ORT UNI T Y
S P E CT RUM:
These two gures summarize the position of
a country in the product space. Here, bubbles
represent a community of products and their size
is proportional to global trade in that product
community. The fraction of each bubble that is
shown in white represents the fraction of all goods
in that community for which the country has an
RCA>1. In this example, out of 125 products in
Machinery, Brazil makes 32 of them, so 75% of the
circle is lled with the color corresponding to the
machinery community. In both charts, the vertical
axis shows the average complexity of the products
in that community that the country is not currently
making. The horizontal axis on the left gure
shows the distance between the countrys current
productive structure to each one of the product
communities. The horizontal of the right gure
displays the opportunity gain, which is a measure
of the number of new products that become closer
if the country were to move into that community
(see Technical Box 5.3). For both the distance and
opportunity gain measures, only the products that
are more complex than the countrys complexity
level are considered. The dashed grey line indicates
the countrys level of economic complexity
measured using the Economic Complexity Index
(ECI). Natural resource based communities are
not shown (mining, precious stones, coal and
oil). Communities for which countries export all
products are not shown.

8 . E XP ORT T RE E MAP S :
This section shows treemaps summarizing the
composition of a countrys exports for the years
1968, 1988 and 2008. The total area represents
100% of the countrys exports, whereas the
smaller areas represent the share of each product.
Products are grouped in communities and colored
accordingly. The rst number shows the SITC4 rev2
code for the product. Parenthesis show the share of
trade represented by that good. Name of products
with large export shares are shown for 2008.

D I S T A N C E is a characteristic of a country-product pair. it measures
how far a product is from a countrys current productive capabili-
ties. it is calculated by adding the products in which the country
does not have comparative advantage, weighted by their proximity
to the product in question.
D I V E R S I T Y is a country characteristic. It is the number of pro-
ducts that a country exports with comparative advantage.
E C O N O MI C C O MP L E X I T Y I N D E X (ECI) is a country characteristic.
It is a measure of how diversifed and complex a countrys export
basket is. It is calculated as the mathematical limit or eigenvec-
tor of a measure based on how many products a country exports
and how many other exporters each product has.
O P P O R T U N I T Y VA L U E is a characteristic of a country. It measures
how well a country is positioned in the product space by calcu-
lating the distance of the country to the products it is currently
not exporting with comparative advantage, weighted by the com-
plexity value of each product. This number is higher for countries
that are closer to more products and to products that are more
complex.
O P P O R T U N I T Y G A I N is a characteristic of a countryproduct pair.
It measures how much the Opportunity Value of a country will
change if the country develops the capacity to export the product
in question with comparative advantage.
P E O P L E B Y T E is more than one personbyte. It needs to be embed-
ded in an organization or network.
P E R S O N B Y T E is the maximum amount of productive knowledge
that an average person can hold.
P R O D U C T C O MMU N I T Y is a product characteristic. A product be-
longs to a community if it is closer to the other members of the
community than it is to products outside of the community.
P R O D U C T C O MP L E X I T Y I N D E X (PCI) is a product characteristic. It
is a measure of how complex a product is. It is calculated as the
mathematical limit of a measure based on how many countries
export the product and how diversifed those exporters are.
P R O X I MI T Y is a characteristic of a pair of products. It measures the
minimum probability that a country exports product 1 given that it
exports product 2 or vice versa.
R E V E A L E D C O MPA R AT I V E A D VA N T A G E (RCA) is a characteristic of
a country-product pair. It is calculated as the ratio of the share of
a product in a countrys export basket to the share of that product
in world trade. A country has RCA greater than 1 in a certain prod-
uct if that product represents a larger share of its exports than of
world exports.
U B I Q U I T Y is a product characteristic. It measures how many
countries export a given product with comparative advantage.

A map does not tell people where to go, but it does help them determine
their destination and chart their journey towards it. A map empowers by
describing opportunities that would not be obvious in the absence of it.
If the secret to development is the accumulation of productive knowledge,
at a societal rather than individual level, then the process necessarily requires
the involvement of many explorers, not just a few planners. This is why the
maps we provide in this Atlas are intended for everyone to use.
