The Atlas of Economic Complexity: Mapping Paths to Prosperity<\/a>\u00a0is a fascinating look at the global economy.\u00a0The Center for International Development at Harvard University<\/a>, The Harvard Kennedy School<\/a>, and Macro Connections at MIT<\/a> have collaborated to create a project that includes both\u00a0a detailed report<\/a>\u00a0and a dynamic set of\u00a0interactive\u00a0visualizations<\/a>\u00a0regarding countries’ varying economic complexity. The report includes an economic complexity index ranking in which Japan ranks first (the US is ranked 13th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The aforementioned visualizations can be created at\u00a0The Observatory of Economic Complexity<\/a>, which allows you to generate a number of different economic charts and maps. For example, you can choose to show imports or exports, different products, and years. In addition, you can view charts as animations (from the years 1962-2009). Below are a few examples of these with the focus being on beer imports in the United States:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
