densdist

Compute the density and distance hausmann2006structuralpecan
based on the RCA and proximity values.

A portfolio of tools for economic complexity analysis and
industrial upgrading navigation. The package implements essential measures
in international trade and development economics, including the relative
comparative advantage (RCA), economic complexity index (ECI) and product
complexity index (PCI). It enables users to analyze export structures,
explore product relatedness, and identify potential upgrading paths grounded
in economic theory, following the framework in Hausmann et al. (2014)
