This paper aims to investigate the relationship between economic complexity and output 
volatility. We analyze whether Economic Complexity Index (ECI) ratings affect macroeconomic 
volatility. Given that the ECI aims to measure productive knowledge, we expect to see that 
countries with a higher ECI score are more resilient to economic shocks and, hence, have lower 
volatility. We estimate a fixed effects model for a series of 84 countries for the period between 
1995 and 2018. The results indicate an ambiguous relationship between ECI and output 
volatility.
