Query: Methods and Concepts in Economic Complexity   Knowhow in societies accumulates as it gets transmitted from group to group,
and from generation to generation. However, we lack of a unified quantitative
formalism that takes into account the structured process for how this
accumulation occurs, and this has precluded the development of a unified view
of human development in the past and in the present. Here, we summarize a
paradigm to understand and model this process. The paradigm goes under the
general name of the Theory of Economic Complexity (TEC). Based on it, we
present a combination of analytical, numerical and empirical results that
illustrate how to characterize the process of development, providing measurable
quantities that can be used to predict future developments. The emphasis is the
quantification of the collective knowhow an economy has accumulated, and what
are the directions in which it is likely to expand. As a case study we consider
data on trade, which provides consistent data on the technological
diversification of 200 countries across more than 50 years. The paradigm
represented by TEC should be relevant for anthropologists, sociologists, and
economists interested in the role of collective knowhow as the main determinant
of the success and welfare of a society.
