Abstract
ABSTRACT In response to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, the Mexican government implemented lockdown and business closure measures to minimize the spread of the disease. This graphic shows whether under those measures the clusters of economic complexity – a measure of the diversification of economic activities, particularly those that are highly sophisticated – have changed relative to the period before the Covid-19 pandemic. The visualization shows a notable reduction in economic complexity clusters during 2020 and a rapid increase in 2021.
