Estimated using exports data.
The top export opportunities according to the relatedness level, without considering those products were Texas already has a comparative advantage, are led by Photographic Film (0.22), Developed Exposed Photographic Material (0.22), Halides (0.22), Aircraft Launch Gear (0.21), and Artificial Filament Tow (0.21).
The highest complexity exports of Texas according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Other Esters (1.85), Iron Fasteners (1.81), Oscilloscopes (1.77), Blank Audio Media (1.74), and Metal Pickling Preparations (1.71). 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 Sorghum (39.7), Pig and Poultry Fat (17.9), Nitrile Compounds (10.2), Raw Cotton (9.5), and Alcohol > 80% ABV (8.8).
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 Texas 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.
