Everyone with a command of basic arithmetic agrees that the US current account trade balance—the broadest measure of its trade deficit—equals US saving minus investment. That’s where agreement stops.

Viktor Stojkoski, César A.

Yet, the use of these diagrams, is not based on empirical or theoretical evidence supporting some notion of optimality. Here, we introduce an optimization-based framework that identifies diversification opportunities by minimizing a cost function capturing the constraints imposed by an economy's pattern of specialization. We show that the resulting portfolios often differ from those implied by relatedness–complexity diagrams, providing a target-oriented optimization layer to the economic complexity toolkit.
