computeDistance: Compute Distance Measure

Description Usage Arguments

View source: R/model.R

Description

computeDistance takes complexity (M) and proximity (phi) and computes a distance measure between countries and products. If a country exports most of the goods related to a product, the distance between that country and that product is short (close to 0). Vice versa, if a country exports few of the goods related to a product, the distance between that country and that product is long (close to 1). See Atlas p.54, Technical Box 5.4.
