Fig 8. The evolution of the diversification against the simulation time.

In (a) all countries, but those whose initial conditions have been particularly unlucky, evolve, boosting their diversification; in the cyan area, i.e. during the saturation regime, highly diversified countries experience an evolution different from others. In effect, it is possible to observe, once focusing on the highest fitness countries, (b), that all of them experience a growth with a S–curve profile, which is peculiar of biologic and economics system with finite resources. Note the other less diversified countries, (c), this phenomenon is not present; effectively the main target of the saturation regime is reducing the gap between the diversification of fully developed and developing countries.
