Atlas of Economic Complexity – interactive map of global economies
🔗 Atlas of Economic Complexity is an interactive data platform developed by the Center for International Development (CID) at Harvard University. It offers a sophisticated lens for examining how economies grow – not just through output or GDP, but by analyzing the complexity and diversity of what countries produce and export. At its core, the Atlas is based on the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) – a metric that doesn’t simply measure how much a country exports, but how advanced and diversified those exports are. Nations exporting only raw materials typically score low, while those exporting specialized machinery, chemical compounds, or electronics achieve high complexity scores. The higher the ECI, the greater the latent capacity for sustained economic growth. ...
