bundle of two measures that explicitly exclude intra-sectoral flows, negatively correlated
with all the others, but probably the most appropriate for measuring complexity as (sectoral)
interdependence.
According to the majority bundle of (more conventional) measures of connectedness,
large economies seem to be more complex than small ones. The bundle of two measures
excluding (direct) intra-sectoral flows, on the other hand, points to the opposite conclusion,
but this surprising result needs to be confirmed with further theoretical and empirical
research.
