Abstract

This paper emphasize “maxproximity” to define the maximum proximity between a product with RCA<1 and one with RCA>1, then calculate the relationship between them. We take China as an example to verify the feasibility on maxproximity, simulate the product structure evolution with the rules we summarize, and construct a product space network to demonstrate the process. We draw a conclusion that country specialize the products with high complexity can produce other kinds of goods easily, because the country has the product knowledge more diversified.
