Análise topológica da rede complexa descrita pelo espaço de produtos

Abstract

In this work, we study the Product Space, a concept that stems from economic complexity. The Product Space is a theoretical approach that aims to understand the productive structure of a country or region by analyzing the relationships between different products. This approach considers that the diversity of countries and the complexity of products influence economic development. The Product Space in this work is modeled using mathematical concepts such as graphs, where the products serve as nodes and the connections between them indicate their proximity, based on a given measure of projection onto the bipartite structure between countries and products. Graph analysis allows us to identify opportunities for specialization and productive diversification. Additionally, the Product Space indicates the presence of comparative advantages and reveals gaps in the productive structure that require attention and investments.
