tradeIndices provides dependency-light R functions for
frequently used international trade indicators. It accepts user-supplied
numeric data, so the core calculations do not depend on an API key or
internet connection.
install.packages("tradeIndices")For the development source directory:
install.packages("path/to/tradeIndices", repos = NULL, type = "source")| Function | Indicator |
|---|---|
trade_openness() |
Exports plus imports as a share of GDP |

Bilateral export intensity |
import_intensity() |
Bilateral import intensity |
trade_concentration() |
HHI or normalized HHI |
trade_diversification() |
HHI-, entropy-, or effective-number diversity |
trade_diversification_index() |
Structural distance from a benchmark |
export_similarity() |
Similarity between two export structures |
trade_complementarity() |
Export-import structural complementarity |
rca_balassa() |

trade_diversification_index(country_exports, world_exports)
export_similarity(country_exports, world_exports)Trade intensity greater than one indicates a bilateral export share exceeding the partner’s reference share in world imports. High HHI indicates concentration; high HHI-based or entropy-based diversity indicates a broader trade structure. The structural diversification index is a distance measure: higher values mean greater dissimilarity from the benchmark, not necessarily a more even export basket.
