Abstract

TThis paper presents a probabilistic model for identifying potential sectors for inclusive economic development related to existing comparative advantages of the regional economy. The model uses bipartite network representation for the economy’s structures pre-sented in the paper (Hausmann, Hidalgo, Bustos, Coscia, Simoes, Yildirim, 2011). For the considered network representation, it is given the probabilistic interpretation and described some theoret-ical properties. Also, it is presented the procedure for filtering the network structure from randomness, which improves the model’s quality.
