Estimated using exports data.
The economic complexity of a territory can change year to year. British Columbia it is in position 4th considering its ECI in the last year.
The top export opportunities according to the relatedness level, without considering those products were British Columbia already has a comparative advantage, are led by Crude Petroleum (0.23), Fish Oil (0.21), Potassic Fertilizers (0.21), Other Prepared Meat (0.21), and Barley (0.21).
The highest complexity exports of British Columbia according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Tool Plates (1.96), Oscilloscopes (1.77), Motor-working Tools (1.55), Metalworking Machine Parts (1.43), and Electric Furnaces (1.4). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The most specialized products according to the RCA index are led by Semi chemical Woodpulp (69.6), Sawn Wood (54.3), Bovine, Sheep, and Goat Fat (45.1), Sulfate Chemical Woodpulp (34.3), and Chlorates and Perchlorates (30.6).
The product space is a network connecting products that are likely to be co-exported. The product space can be used to predict future exports, since British Columbia is more likely to start exporting products that are related to current exports. Relatedness measures the distance between a product, and all of the products it is currently specialized in.
The Complexity-Relatedness diagram compares the risk and the strategic value of a territory's potential export oppotunities. Relatedness is a predictive of the probability that a country increases its exports in a product. Complexity, is associated with higher levels of income, economic growth, less income inequality, and lower emissions.
