摘要翻译：
对亚当·斯密来说，财富与劳动分工有关。随着人们和企业专注于不同的活动，经济效率提高，这表明发展与个体活动数量的增加以及它们之间相互作用的复杂性有关。在这里，我们提出了一种经济增长和发展的观点，通过将贸易数据解释为一个国家与其出口产品相连的双边网络，使一国经济的复杂性发挥核心作用，并表明通过描述这个网络的结构，可以量化一国经济的复杂性。此外，我们还表明，我们得出的复杂性度量与一个国家的收入水平相关，偏离这一关系可以预测未来的增长。这表明，各国倾向于向其生产结构的复杂性所决定的收入水平靠拢，表明发展努力应侧重于创造条件，使复杂性得以出现，以实现持续增长和繁荣。

英文摘要：
  For Adam Smith, wealth was related to the division of labor. As people and firms specialize in different activities, economic efficiency increases, suggesting that development is associated with an increase in the number of individual activities and with the complexity that emerges from the interactions between them. Here we develop a view of economic growth and development that gives a central role to the complexity of a country's economy by interpreting trade data as a bipartite network in which countries are connected to the products they export, and show that it is possible to quantify the complexity of a country's economy by characterizing the structure of this network. Furthermore, we show that the measures of complexity we derive are correlated with a country's level of income, and that deviations from this relationship are predictive of future growth. This suggests that countries tend to converge to the level of income dictated by the complexity of their productive structures, indicating that development efforts should focus on generating the conditions that would allow complexity to emerge in order to generate sustained growth and prosperity.
