INTRA-EUROPEAN ECONOMIC EXCHANGES MODELLING IN THE EU-27, UNDER GLOBALIZATION

摘要

Under the present circumstances, where enlargement of the Single Market is being part of globalizing process, there is increased necessity to measure economic competitiveness in terms of comparative advantage and total factor productivity. Competitiveness requires to be analyzed as nonlinear relation between the comparative advantage and the productivity. We centred our research upon measurement of total comparative advantage, underpinned by the convergence criterion at the level of NUTS I regions and observed in its relation to the gross domestic product (GDP). The regressive study between the total comparative advantage and the real income in one country reveals a reversed relation.
