In the global financial crisis, competitiveness gaps between Euro
area countries caused additional strain. This book discusses the
various dimensions of competitiveness, with a special focus on
emerging Central, Eastern and Southeastern European countries. For
Europe to proceed with convergence and to resist global competitive
pressures, it argues that policies to boost productivity and
innovation are vital. With products becoming ever more technically
sophisticated and global interconnectedness on a relentless rise,
it also demonstrates that quality, customer orientation and
participation in global production networks and global value chains
are at least as important as relative costs and prices. This book
delves into the literature and dissects the complexity of
competitiveness, aiming to offer tangible policy advice focussed on
how well the European economy is performing and how it could
improve. The key findings of the book, from a mix of academics and
policymakers, constitute a state-of-the-art assessment of
competitiveness that may change traditional perceptions of how
economies can return to a path of sustainable growth. Comprehensive
and forward-looking, this enlightening book will appeal to
academics, researchers and policymakers with a particular interest
in European economies and economic integration. Contributors
