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 Asphalt Mixtures (254), Passenger and Cargo Ships (108), Organo-Sulfur Compounds (96.5), Textile Fiber Machinery (64.8), and Limestone (60.9).
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 Shikoku 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.
