Mapping Provincial Economic Complexity in Türkiye

Current productive know-how and implied capability accumulation potential

About this Project

This interactive platform visualizes the economic complexity landscape of Turkish provinces. Utilizing data spanning over two decades, it aims to provide policymakers, researchers, and the public with deep insights into the productive capabilities and future structural transformation potential of each region. The tools below allow for both cross-sectional comparison and longitudinal trend analysis, shedding light on how provincial economies are evolving.

Methodology

Economic Complexity Index (ECI)

A measure of the knowledge intensity of an economy. ECI captures the amount of sophisticated know-how embedded in the productive structure of a province. A higher ECI suggests a more diversified and complex set of capabilities, often correlated with higher income levels and faster future growth.

Complexity Outlook Index (COI)

A measure of the "strategic value" of a province's current capabilities. COI quantifies how easy it would be for a province to diversify into new, complex products based on what it already produces. A higher COI implies many nearby opportunities in the Product Space.
