COUNTRY PAGES

How to read the country pages

1 . I de n tity :
Here we identify the country
using its name and flag.

5 . T h e 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).

2 . M ai n I n dicators :
This section shows the Economic Complexity Index
(ECI) for the year 2008 and the expected average
annualized growth for the 2009-2020 period.
The first number shows the value of the indicator.
Numbers in parenthesis show the global ranking
and the regional ranking for the country.

S pectrum :
These two figures 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 filled 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 figure
shows the distance between the countrys current
productive structure to each one of the product
communities. The horizontal of the right figure
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.

This section shows a small set of indicators that
can be used to put the country in context. For each
indicator, the first number shows its value and
the numbers in parenthesis show the countrys
corresponding global and regional ranking.
The region the country belongs to is shown to

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 first 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.

G lossary

D istance

is a characteristic of a country-product pair. it measures


how far a product is from a countrys current productive capabilities. 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 ersity
is a country characteristic. It is the number of products that a country exports with comparative advantage.
E conomic C omplexity I ndex (ECI) is a country characteristic.
It is a measure of how diversified and complex a countrys export
basket is. It is calculated as the mathematical limit or eigenvector of a measure based on how many products a country exports
and how many other exporters each product has.
O pportunity Value

is a characteristic of a country. It measures


how well a country is positioned in the product space by calculating the distance of the country to the products it is currently
not exporting with comparative advantage, weighted by the complexity value of each product. This number is higher for countries
that are closer to more products and to products that are more
complex.

O pportunity G ain 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 eople b yte

is more than one personbyte. It needs to be embedded in an organization or network.

P erson b yte

is the maximum amount of productive knowledge


that an average person can hold.

P roduct C ommunity

is a product characteristic. A product belongs to a community if it is closer to the other members of the
community than it is to products outside of the community.

P roduct C omplexity I ndex (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 diversified those exporters are.
P roximity

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 ealed C omparati v e A d v antage

(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 product if that product represents a larger share of its exports than of
world exports.

U b i q uity
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.
