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) . authors: - family-names: Balland given-names: Pierre-Alexandre email: pierre.alex.balland@gmail.com repository: https://cran.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/PABalland/EconGeo commit: b5676563e5e47f398d4a8f9a3b1ed28f48a94922 url: https://github.com/PABalland/EconGeo date-released: '2026-07-02' contact: - family-names: Balland given-names: Pierre-Alexandre email: pierre.alex.balland@gmail.com
