Economic Complexity Index 2013

Report year 2013·Data year 2013

ECI score (standardised, roughly −3 to +3)·Higher is better — rank 1 leads·Published by Growth Lab at Harvard University

30 reference years (1995–2024), covering 140 to 145 countries, on the HS92 trade classification, from the Growth Lab's "Growth Projections and Complexity Rankings" deposit (doi:10.7910/DVN/XTAQMC, version 12.0). The index measures the KNOW-HOW embedded in what a country exports: how diverse its export basket is, and how few other countries can make the same things. ⚠ THE RANK IS THE GROWTH LAB'S OWN and is stored as published — nothing is derived here. ⚠ THIRTY EDITIONS, ONE REPORT: version 12.0 recomputes every year back to 1995 on its current method, so these are not thirty published rankings. ⚠ IT IS BUILT FROM TRADE IN GOODS, so economies that live on services or on a single resource are described poorly — an oil exporter scores low however rich it is, which is the finding rather than a flaw. ⚠ THE DATA HAS BEEN ON DISK SINCE 2026-09-06 and unreachable, because no registry entry existed; adding one is the whole of what batch 8 did for it.
