文摘

A two-level measure is proposed to compute the dissimilarity of multiplex networks. The dissimilarity is divided into two parts: connection- and weighted-dissimilarity. The Import-dissimilarity in trade network is larger than the Export-dissimilarity. The time difference has positive linear effects on the change of trade networks. The Import- and Export-dissimilarities do not change significantly as time.
