Relatedness measures the likelihood that an economy will expand its exports to a specific product, while complexity is associated with higher income levels, economic growth, reduced inequality, and lower emissions. In the chart, a rightward movement reflects a higher probability of exporting a new product, and an upward movement indicates an increase in the complexity of the territory's productive matrix.
*In the chart, the size of the circles is proportional to the volume of exports of the product in each country.
*Relative relatedness captures variation within each country, while absolute relatedness compares across countries.
