EU Competitiveness and Resilience: Evidenced-based on Regional Level

Original language description

The monograph deals with competitiveness and resilience of regional economies, which represent the current direction of the European Union (EU). Economies have always been prone to different kinds of shocks such as economic downturns, industry shocks, currency crises, which can destabilize the path and pattern of regional economic growth. Regional economy perturbed by a shock may move onto a new growth path by re-establishing economic linkages both internally and with other regions. The question why one region is more vulnerable to economic shock than other and what are its competitive advantages and disadvantages, impelled to analyse competitiveness and resilience notion in a regional development context. Several methods of evaluating regional economies exist, most of the methods have their own limitations, especially in the selection of relevant indicators and weighting scheme. Despite the limitations, several approaches have been proposed by the EU and the other institutions. The aim of this publication is to throw light on some of the underlying aspects of regional competitiveness and resilience and give an overview of notion, main empirical results and planning tasks concerning regional resilience as well as analysis of research studies on constructing the territorial composite indices. The main results of the publication are overview and comparison of regional competitiveness and resilience literature, and subsequent empirics of existing composite indices that lead to measuring of the EU regional resilience and comparative analysis with level of the EU regional competitiveness.
