A sub-national economic complexity analysis of Australia’s states and territories
利用2009年澳大利亚多区域投入产出表，分析九个州和领地506种出口商品和服务的比较优势，发现产业能力差异对经济复杂性至关重要，多数州出口资源密集型产品，但州际贸易包含许多尚未国际出口的复杂产品。
A sub-national economic complexity analysis of Australia’s states and territories. Regional Studies. This paper applies economic complexity analysis to the Australian sub-national economy (nine regions with 506 exported goods and services). Using a 2009 Australian multi-regional input–output table for base data, we determine the number of export goods or services in which each state and territory has a revealed comparative advantage, and visualize the complexity of Australia’s interstate and international exports. We find that small differences in industrial capability and knowledge are crucial to relative complexity. The majority of states (especially Western Australia) export primarily resource-intensive goods, yet interstate trade has many complex products that are not currently internationally exported.
