By simulating a multi-country general equilibrium international trade model, we investigate how the economic complexity index (ECI) and fitness index (FI) are related directly to economic fundamentals with a clear basis in theory. The model is based on Eaton and Kortum (2002 Econometrica 70 1741–79) and combines factor endowment (Heckscher-Ohlin) and technological (Ricardian) reasons for specialization, which further determines economic complexity across countries. First, we find that FI performs better than ECI in explaining the real-world specialization pattern, where successful countries not only produce complex products due to the comparative advantage but also tend to produce a wide range of possible products due to the absolute advantage. Second, we highlight that the predictive power of various economic complexity measures for income is crucially sensitive to other factors that shift marginal cost from its efficient level in manufacturing sectors. The essence of such an issue lies in the assumption that the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) correctly reflects a country’s real capability of specialization across different goods. However, there would exist a gap between the core idea of learning the national complexity from RCA and the fact that the revealed specialization pattern in data may not necessarily suggest a country’s actual capability in the presence of distortions, the latter of which is ubiquitous across developing countries.

We consider a heterogeneous ensemble of dynamical systems in R4 that individually are either attracted to fixed points (and are termed inactive) or to limit cycles (in which case they are termed active). These distinct states are separated by bifurcations that are controlled by a single parameter. Upon coupling them globally, we find a discontinuous transition to global inactivity (or stasis) when the proportion of inactive components in the ensemble exceeds a threshold: there is a first–order phase transition from a globally oscillatory state to global oscillation death. There is hysteresis associated with these phase transitions. Numerical results for a representative system are supported by analysis using a system-reduction technique and different dynamical regimes can be rationalised through the corresponding bifurcation diagrams of the reduced set of equations.

Secure electric energy supply and thus stable operation of power grids fundamentally relies on their capability to cope with fluctuations. Here, we study how active voltage dynamics impacts the collective response dynamics of networked power grids. We find that the systems driven by ongoing fluctuating inputs exhibit a bulk, a resonance, and a localized grid frequency response regime, as for static voltages. However, active voltage dynamics generically weakens the degree of localization in the grid, thereby intensifying and spatially extending the high-frequency responses. An analytic approximation scheme that takes into account shortest signal propagation paths among the voltage, phase angle and frequency variables result in an asymptotic lowest-order expansion that helps understanding the boosted high-frequency responses. These results moreover offer a generic tool to systematically investigate fluctuation response patterns in power grid models with and without active voltage dynamics.

Transfer entropy is emerging as the statistical approach of choice to support the inference of causal interactions in complex systems from time-series of their individual units. With reference to a simple dyadic system composed of two coupled units, the successful application of net transfer entropy-based inference relies on unidirectional coupling between the units and their homogeneous dynamics. What happens when the units are bidirectionally coupled and have different dynamics? Through analytical and numerical insights, we show that net transfer entropy may lead to erroneous inference of the dominant direction of influence that stems from its dependence on the units’ individual dynamics. To control for these confounding effects, one should incorporate further knowledge about the units’ time-histories through the recent framework offered by momentary information transfer. In this realm, we demonstrate the use of two measures: controlled and fully controlled transfer entropies, which consistently yield the correct direction of dominant coupling irrespective of the sources and targets individual dynamics. Through the study of two real-world examples, we identify critical limitations with respect to the use of net transfer entropy in the inference of causal mechanisms that warrant prudence by the community.

Collective dynamics is ubiquitous in various physical, biological, and social systems, where simple local interactions between individual units lead to complex global patterns. A common feature of diverse collective behaviors is that the units exhibit either convergent or divergent evolution in their behaviors, i.e. becoming increasingly similar or distinct, respectively. The associated dynamics changes across time, leading to complex consequences on a global scale. In this study, we propose a generalized Laplacian dynamics model to describe both convergent and divergent collective behaviors, where the trends of convergence and divergence compete with each other and jointly determine the evolution of global patterns. We empirically observe non-trivial phase-transition-like phenomena between the convergent and divergent evolution phases, which are controlled by local interaction properties. We also propose a conjecture regarding the underlying phase transition mechanisms and outline the main theoretical difficulties for testing this conjecture. Overall, our framework may serve as a minimal model of collective behaviors and their intricate dynamics.

The Chinese venture capital (VC) market is a young and rapidly expanding financial subsector. Gaining a deeper understanding of the investment behaviours of VC firms is crucial for the development of a more sustainable and healthier market and economy. Contrasting evidence supports that either specialisation or diversification helps to achieve a better investment performance. However, the impact of the syndication network is overlooked. Syndication network has a great influence on the propagation of information and trust. By exploiting an authoritative VC dataset of thirty-five-year investment information in China, we construct a joint-investment network of VC firms and analyse the impacts of syndication and diversification on specialisation and investment performance. There is a clear correlation between the syndication network degree and specialisation level of VC firms, which implies that the well-connected VC firms are diversified. More connections generally bring about more information or other resources, and VC firms are more likely to enter a new stage or industry with some new co-investing VC firms when compared to a randomised null model. Moreover, autocorrelation analysis of both specialisation and success rate on the syndication network indicates that feature clustering of similar VC firms is roughly limited to the secondary neighbourhood. When analysing local feature clustering patterns, we discover that, contrary to popular beliefs, there is no apparent successful club of investors. In contrast, investors with low success rates are more likely to cluster. Our discoveries enrich the understanding of VC investment behaviours and can assist policymakers in designing better strategies to promote the development of the VC industry.

The entropy of random graph ensembles has gained widespread attention in the field of graph theory and network science. We consider microcanonical ensembles of simple graphs with prescribed degree sequences. We demonstrate that the mean-field approximations of the generating function using the Chebyshev–Hermite polynomials provide estimates for the entropy of finite-graph ensembles. Our estimate reproduces the Bender–Canfield formula in the limit of large graphs.

Climate changes may affect ecosystems destabilising relationships among species. We investigate the spatial rock-paper-scissors models with a regional unevenness that reduces the selection capacity of organisms of one species. Our results show that the regionally weak species predominates in the local ecosystem, while spiral patterns appear far from the region, where individuals of every species play the rock-paper-scissors game with the same strength. Because the weak species controls all local territory, it is attractive for the other species to enter the local ecosystem to conquer the territory. However, our stochastic simulations show that the transitory waves formed when organisms of the strong species reach the region are quickly destroyed because of local strength unbalance in the selection game rules. Computing the effect of the topology on population dynamics, we find that the prevalence of the weak species becomes more significant if the transition of the selection capacity to the area of uneven rock-paper-scissors rules is smooth. Finally, our findings show that the biodiversity loss due to the arising of regional unevenness is minimised if the transition to the region where the cyclic game is unbalanced is abrupt. Our results may be helpful to biologists in comprehending the consequences of changes in the environmental conditions on species coexistence and spatial patterns in complex systems.

Voter model dynamics in complex networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. In particular, the voting outcome can be inverted by adding extremely small perturbations that are strategically generated in social networks, even when one opinion is dominant over the other. However, the mitigation of adversarial attacks on the voter model dynamics in complex networks has not been thoroughly investigated. Thus, we examined network structures that could mitigate adversarial attacks using model networks and real-world networks, considering that the network structure affects the voter model dynamics. Numerical simulations demonstrated that the heterogeneity of node degrees in the networks (degree heterogeneity) significantly mitigates adversarial attacks. In particular, for complex networks with a power-law degree distribution P(k)∼k−γ , the mitigation effect is significant for γ⩽3 . However, the mitigation effect of the degree heterogeneity was relatively weak for large and dense networks. The degree correlation and clustering in the networks exhibited almost no mitigation effect. The results enhance our understanding of how opinion dynamics and collective decision-making are distorted in social networks and may be useful for considering defense strategies against adversarial attacks.

Reservoir computer (RC) is an attractive neural computing framework that can well predict the dynamics of chaotic systems. Previous knowledge of the RC performance is established on the case that all variables in a chaotic system are completely observed. However, in practical circumstances the observed variables from a dynamical system are usually incomplete, among which there is a lack of understanding of the RC performance. Here we utilize mean error growth curve to estimate the RC prediction horizon on the Lorenz63 system (L63), and particularly we investigate the scenario of univariate time series. Our results demonstrate that the prediction horizon of RC outperforms that of local dynamical analogs of L63, and the state-space embedding technique can improve the RC prediction in case of incomplete observations. We then test the conclusion on the more complicated systems, and extend the method to estimate the intraseasonal predictability of atmospheric circulation indices. These results could provide indications for future developments and applications of the RC.
