Key Rooted Scores Mapand Trends<br />
The upper right corner of each profile contains a map where all other<br />
countries are sized in proportion to their share of the profiled country’s<br />
merchandise exports, and are colored based on the profiled country’s<br />
share of their imports. The profiled country’s proportion of the map area<br />
is held constant across all of these maps to make them more directly comparable.<br />
Thus, these maps do not show differences in the share of exports<br />
in the profiled countries’ economic output. Furthermore, these maps show<br />
gross exports; no adjustments are made to remove double-counting of<br />
re-exported goods. These maps were generated based on data from the<br />
International Monetary Fund Direction of Trade Statistics Database and the<br />
United Nations Commodity Trade Database (Comtrade).<br />
For additional context, a list of major export products is also provided for<br />
<strong>Connectedness</strong> Score Trend<br />
each country. The source for these lists is the CIA World Factbook.<br />

Depth Breadth<br />
The breadth section parallels the depth section described to the left.<br />
However, rather than showing raw breadth scores (which do not have<br />
meaningful units), the intra-regional share of each country’s flows is<br />
shown. In some cases, these ratios were computed based on only a sample<br />
of a country’s flows for which partner-by-partner data were available.<br />
Thus, these shares should be treated as approximate, especially for the<br />
telephone calls component, where such data limitations were most severe.<br />
For a list of data sources, please refer to Appendix B.<br />

Directionality<br />
The directionality chart shows the profiled country’s outward and inward<br />
overall, depth, and breadth scores. A diamond is used to mark the directional<br />
balance, calculated as the difference of the outward minus inward<br />
scores.<br />
