Research on the Evolution of the Complex Network Theory Based on the International Coal Trade

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the international coal trade data of the years from 1996 to 2011 published by UN COMTRADE (UNSD), it can be inferred that the data is mainly about international trade of raw coal and related coal products. By adopting the theory of complex network analysis, this paper calculates the complex network of international coal trade in the aspect of its density, node degree, centrality, point strength, clustering coefficient. Based on these properties, this paper further analyzes the evolution rule for international coal trade network of raw coal, coal briquettes and ovate coal over the last 16 years, as well as the difference between the pre-and after financial crisis.
