英文摘要：
  We develop a machine-learning-based method, Principal Smooth-Dynamics Analysis (PriSDA), to identify patterns in economic development and to automate the development of new theory of economic dynamics. Traditionally, economic growth is modeled with a few aggregate quantities derived from simplified theoretical models. Here, PriSDA identifies important quantities. Applied to 55 years of data on countries\' exports, PriSDA finds that what most distinguishes countries\' export baskets is their diversity, with extra weight assigned to more sophisticated products. The weights are consistent with previous measures of product complexity in the literature. The second dimension of variation is a proficiency in machinery relative to agriculture. PriSDA then couples these quantities with per-capita income and infers the dynamics of the system over time. According to PriSDA, the pattern of economic development of countries is dominated by a tendency toward increased diversification. Moreover, economies appear to become richer after they diversify (i.e., diversity precedes growth). The model predicts that middle-income countries with diverse export baskets will grow the fastest in the coming decades, and that countries will converge onto intermediate levels of income and specialization. PriSDA is generalizable and may illuminate dynamics of elusive quantities such as diversity and complexity in other natural and social systems.

中文摘要：
我们开发了一种基于机器学习的方法，即Principal Smooth Dynamics Analysis（Principal Smooth Dynamics Analysis，PriSDA），以识别经济发展中的模式，并自动开发新的经济动力学理论。传统上，经济增长是用从简化理论模型中得出的几个总量来建模的。在这里，普里斯达确定了重要的数量。通过对55年来各国出口数据的分析，普里斯达发现，各国出口篮子的最大区别在于其多样性，并将额外的权重分配给更复杂的产品。权重与文献中先前的产品复杂性度量一致。变异的第二个维度是相对于农业而言的机械熟练程度。PriSDA然后将这些数量与人均收入进行耦合，并推断出系统随时间的动态变化。普里斯达认为，各国的经济发展模式以日益多样化的趋势为主。此外，经济体在多样化之后似乎变得更加富有（即多样化先于增长）。该模型预测，具有不同出口篮子的中等收入国家将在未来几十年内增长最快，而这些国家的收入和专业化水平将趋于中等水平。普里斯达是可以概括的，它可能会揭示其他自然和社会系统中难以捉摸的数量的动态，例如多样性和复杂性。
