| description |
The World Bank has developed a novel
method for measuring countries connectivity in global
networks and has applied it to the global air transport
network. Connectivity in this context is defined as a
country s relative position in that network in terms of the
total push and pull it exerts on air traffic, taking
account of all possible links with other countries.
Well-connected countries that are strongly connected to
other well-connected countries are considered hubs in this
definition. Less well-connected countries are spokes. The
Air Connectivity Index (ACI) shows that connectivity is
highly concentrated in North America and Europe ( hubs );
most developing countries are relatively poorly connected
( spokes ). Developing countries looking to increase their
participation in global value chains need to improve their
connectivity as part of their overall competitiveness
strategy, including the progressive liberalization of their
air transport sectors. |
