Economic Complexity (2022): 0.68
Tokyo ranks 12th out of the 41 prefectures in Japan according to ECI.
The Economic Complexity Index, or ECI, is a measure of an economy’s capacity which can be inferred from data connecting locations to the activities that are present in them. For more info about Economic Complexity, visit the Economic Complexity page.
Estimated using exports data.
The economic complexity of a territory can change year to year. Tokyo it is in position 12th considering its ECI in the last year.
The top export opportunities according to the relatedness level, without considering those products were Tokyo already has a comparative advantage, are led by Developed Exposed Photographic Material (0.4), Photo Lab Equipment (0.37), Blown Glass (0.35), Glass with Edge Workings (0.35), and Epoxides (0.35).
The highest complexity exports of Tokyo according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Disc Chemicals for Electronics (2.07), Silicone (1.81), Photographic Film (1.78), Halides (1.77), and Industrial Printers (1.41). 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 (30.8), Industrial Printers (18.7), Silicone (17.2), Photographic Film (17.0), and Other Fermented Beverages (16.7).
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 Tokyo 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. Bubble size corresponds to exports value by year 2020.
