Relatedness, Complexity and Local Growth

This repository contains the source material for "Relatedness, Complexity and Local Growth," which was published first as Motu Working Paper 19-01 and subsequently in Regional Studies.

Workflow

We generate data, figures and tables by running the R scripts code/data.R, code/figures.R and code/tables.R (in that order). We run each script in a fresh relatedness-complexity.Rproj instance within RStudio.

Data

data/raw/ contains the raw data used in our analysis.

Dependencies

Our analysis uses several R packages. We identify these packages at the beginning of each R script in code/ and in the log files in logs/. All dependencies can be installed via
