EconGeo: Computing Key Indicators of the Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities

Computes a series of indices commonly used in the fields of economic geography, economic complexity, and evolutionary economics to describe the ___location, distribution, spatial organization, structure, and complexity of economic activities. Functions include basic spatial indicators such as the ___location quotient, the Krugman specialization index, the Herfindahl or the Shannon entropy indices but also more advanced functions to compute different forms of normalized relatedness between economic activities or network-based measures of economic complexity. Most of the functions use matrix calculus and are based on bipartite (incidence) matrices consisting of region - industry pairs. These are described in Balland (2017) <http://econ.geo.uu.nl/peeg/peeg1709.pdf>.
