Evolutionary analysis of the global rare earth trade networks
作者：
Highlights：
• Global rare earth trade networks are structured using the actual trade data from 1999 to 2020. We employ the network analysis method to analyze the evolution of global rare earth trade over the 22-year period.
• Temporal exponential random graph model (TERGM) is used to analyzed the influencing factors and evolution of the global rare earth trade networks.
• Network motif analysis is employed to analyze the influence of network topology on the trading network structure.
