List of countries by economic complexity

Map and Scatterplot of Countries by Economic Complexity

This list orders countries by their economic complexity index (ECI), as it was defined and calculated by Ricardo Hausmann, Cesar Hidalgo and other contributors based mainly at the Harvard-MIT Observatory of Economic Complexity. The ECI was calculated with trade data from the UN Comtrade,[1] thus the information is only based on exports (and not goods produced). The 2009 rankings includes Products Exports Treemaps, also built by the Observatory of Economic Complexity.
