Fig 7. The evolution of the probability of selecting every country.

On the horizontal axis there is the simulation time. Until the saturation regime (the cyan area) few countries start increasing their probabilities of being selected with the increasing of their diversification, to the detriment of the poor diversified countries, whose probabilities are pushed lower. In the saturation period, the mid-diversified countries enlarge their export basket, boosting their probabilities of being selected, while highest diversified countries are restrained; in this way the gap among countries reduces.
