economic-complexity 0.3.0

Functions to calculate Economic Complexity indicators.

This package contains functions to calculate Economic Complexity indicators.
The functions handle the data through pandas.DataFrame objects.

Installation

We recommend the use of poetry, to resolve the best version of the dependencies that works with your current project.

$ poetry add economic-complexity

For the time being the library is compatible with both pandas and polars, though we intend to migrate to polars completely. Specify the package you want to use as backend as an extra at installation:

$ poetry add economic-complexity[pandas]
$ # or
$ poetry add economic-complexity[polars]

Tutorial

We have a brief Tutorial, using data from the Observatory of Economic Complexity, to get started on how to use the basic functions of this package.
More complex functions use the resulting dataframes of the basic functions as arguments.
