The Development Policy Research Unit team conducted a complexity methodology workshop on the 31st of January 2019. The workshop aimed to, firstly: equip researchers doing research using complexity analytics, and secondly: provide a description of the methodology to the engineering teams involved in the broader project - and thus cross-disciplinary research synergies.

On the first day of the workshop, DPRU researchers Christopher Rooney and Robert Hill conducted a presentation on complexity analytics. Christopher provided the introduction, discussed the Product Space, and offered a theoretical description of the economic complexity methodology.  Robert provided a discussion of empirical applications of the methodology, with a practical introduction to the Atlas of Economic Complexity.
