摘要
Economic complexity can be defined as the composition of a country's productive output and represents the structures that emerge to hold and combine knowledge. Concerning the product categories and their complexity, the most complex products consist of machinery, chemicals and metal products. The main exporters of the most complex products are developed countries. This means that the countries have high export competitiveness. Considering the share of high-tech exports, it is seemed that Turkey is below the level it should be. This causes relatively low index of economic complexity and low export competitiveness of Turkey.
