Fig. 1

Histogram of the PCI values of all products assigned to each economic sector with samples of corresponding products at distinct 5%, 50%, and 95% quantiles. The distribution of PCI values varies by sector, with panel b (Electronics & Instruments), f (Machinery), and j (Petroleum, Chemicals & Non-Metals) having high PCI, and Panels a (Agriculture), c (Fishing), and k (Textiles & Wearing Apparel) having low PCI. Panel h (Mining & Quarrying) has lower than average PCI, while Panels e (Iron & Steel) and g (Metal Products), whose products are derived from h, have higher than average PCI. Likewise, Panel d (Food & Beverages) has lower than average PCI but higher than Panels a and c. Panel l (Wood & Paper) has slightly above average PCI, while Panel i (Other Manufacturing) has average PCI.
