A new interrelatedness indicator to measure economic complexity, with an applic...
Description
This paper is about economic complexity, treated as interrelatedness between the parts or sectors of an economy, particularly one represented by an input-output system. The complexity indicator proposed capture two relevant features of interrelatedness that can be separately measured: a dependency effect and a network effect. This indicator can be used in two contexts: the direct connections given by the technical coefficient matrix, A and the total (direct plus indirect and induced) effects given by the Leontief inverse, (I-A)-1. The first results of an empirical application to the Portuguese Case are presented, covering the period 1980-1999.
