Overview

Empirical analysis reveals distinct effects of supply-side and demand-side relatedness on regional economy.

Key Points

  • Regional economic complexity is influenced by product relatedness, showing a high complexity in eastern cities.
  • During 2000–2016, demand-side relatedness was found to be more prevalent than supply-side relatedness.
  • Supply-side relatedness enhances economic complexity while demand-side relatedness inhibits it.
  • The impacts of product relatedness on regional economy occur through various dynamic mechanisms.
