Developing a Multidimensional Economic Complexity Index (M-ECI) Project
Team Leader: Dr. Krista Danielle Yu
Funding Agency: National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP)
Duration: October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023
The pandemic has caused a major setback to the global economy. After implementing the longest lockdowns in the world, the Philippines has not returned to its pre-pandemic state despite experiencing higher growth rates in recent quarters. To ensure that the economy can sustain this level of economic growth, there is a need to evaluate the performance of the country in terms of economic complexity, through developing a multidimensional economic complexity index that will include education, research and innovation, gender equality, and environmental factors using input-output based metrics and other indicators.
