Economic complexity, human capital and income inequality: a cross-country analysis (2019, background): “Consequently, human capital helps a country to engage in the production of sophisticated commodities, thereby enhancing its economic complexity (Hidalgo and Hausmann, 2009; Hausmann et al., 2014).”
Economic Complexity and Ecological Footprint: Evidence from the Most Complex Economies in the World (2020, background): “Economic complexity refers to a country’s productive structure [46], which generates a specific economic and energy consumption structure that has a specific impact on the environment.”
Complex economic activities concentrate in large cities (2018, background): “e activities scale more super linearly than others.
