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 />
