This section shows differences between total trade from Kansai throughout time.
This section shows forecasts for total exports and imports from Kansai. The forecast is based in a Long Short-Term Memory Model constructed using monthly trade data.
Kansai ranks 3rd out of the 8 regions in Japan according to ECI.
Estimated using exports data.
The economic complexity of a territory can change year to year. Kansai it is in position 3rd considering its ECI in the last year.
The top export opportunities according to the relatedness level, without considering those products were Kansai already has a comparative advantage, are led by Disc Chemicals for Electronics (0.52), Photographic Film (0.48), Photo Lab Equipment (0.46), Cast or Rolled Glass (0.45), and Hot-Rolled Stainless Steel Bars (0.44).
The highest complexity exports of Kansai according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Developed Exposed Photographic Material (2.52), Metalworking Transfer Machines (2.43), Cermets (2.2), Photographic Chemicals (2.17), and Non-Mechanical Removal Machinery (2.04). 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 Oxometallic or Peroxometallic Acid Salts (47.3), Developed Exposed Photographic Material (19), Electrical Capacitors (18.1), Synthetic Filament Tow (17.7), and Artificial Textile Machinery (14.6).
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 Kansai 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.
