We have used historical data on business activity by sector and principal area, together with data on educational levels and economic complexity to train a model which predicts the probability that a principal area will gain business specialisation in an industry. The model produces a probability for each industry between 0 and 1. We have classified sectors with a probability above 0.75 in a ‘high probability’ category, sectors above 0.5 in a ‘medium probability’ category, and sectors below 0.5 in a ‘low probability’ category.
