The Competitiveness of the EU Countries: A Multi-dimensional Cluster Analysis Approach

Original language description

Considering the changing concepts of understanding the term of competitiveness in current economic literature our paper evaluates the competitiveness using various approaches to defining and measuring of competitiveness across the EU countries. In particular, three dimensions of competitiveness evaluation were identified and used in the analysis. In the first dimension, the traditional cost-based measures were applied to assess and compare competitiveness and its development over time in the EU countries. The second dimension captures the potential of a country to attract firms to establish and sustain high-skilled enterprise in a country. Particularly, in this second dimension two sub-dimensions are used separately to evaluate the potential of a country to attract firms to establish the high-skilled business; and also to provide conditions to keep it in a long time in a country. Finally, the third dimension evaluates the innovation potential of a country. In summary, three following research questions are asked for each dimension of competitiveness evaluation: 1.) What is the competitiveness and its development over time in the EU countries from the perspective of traditional cost-based measures. 2.) How attractive are the EU countries for firms to establish and sustain high-skilled enterprise? (In other words: What non-cost conditions do the EU countries offer to firms to establish and keep competitive high-skilled enterprise in there?) 3.) How attractive are the EU countries for firms in terms of innovation development potential.
