In this second Open Risk White Paper on Connecting the Dots we examine various measures of concentration, diversity, inequality and sparsity in the context of economic systems represented as network (graph) structures.

We adopt a stylized description of economies as property graphs and illustrate how relevant concepts can represented in this language. We explore in some detail data types representing economic network data and their statistical nature which is critical in their use in concentration analysis.

We proceed to recast various known indexes drawn from distinct disciplines in a unified computational context.
