The theoretical part of the paper is shortly devoted to the fundamental bases of competitiveness in the context of performance/productivity theory and the methodology of factor and cluster analysis (FA, CA) and DEA method. The multivariate methods, CA and FA, have been used to DEA modelling. The empirical part is aimed at measuring the degree of productivity and level of efficiency changes of evaluated countries by the specialized DEA approach ? the Malmquist (Productivity) Index (MI/MPI) measuring the change of technical efficiency and
