Economic growth and technological progress from the perspective of Economic Complexity
Conference Presentation
Brief Presentation
The focus of the conference was the analysis of the empirical approach of Economic Complexity, based on data processing, designed to support the study of territorial development through the use of quantitative metrics. Methodologies inspired by complex systems analysis and network theory made it possible to estimate the intangible capabilities required for a country or region to maintain a competitive level, both in general terms and in specific market contexts. This ambitious approach made it essential to adopt innovative tools aimed at providing policymakers with a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics interconnecting the various dimensions of production and innovation systems.
Main Topics Emerging from the Conference
At the conference, a data-based method for studying territorial development using quantitative indicators was presented. Thanks to tools inspired by complex systems and network analysis, it is possible to assess the intangible capabilities that make a country or region competitive, both in general and in specific markets. During the event, the following topics emerged:
- Economic Complexity Paradigm
- Territorial Development and Intangibles
- From Microenterprise to Territory
- Policies and Operational Tools
- Interdisciplinary Perspective
- Implications for Cohesion and Regional Strategies
- Methodological Challenges and Critical Issues
Learning Objective
To understand data-driven and complexity-based methods for analysing the competitiveness and development of territories.
