Competitiveness. Investigating European performance

Economic growth and job creation are at the heart of the EU’s current priorities. But what factors determine the productivity that influences Europe’s overall competitiveness levels and ability to deliver these two principal objectives? Some of the answers are to be found in the
European Commission’s latest competitiveness report. Now in its tenth year, the report does not offer policy prescriptions. Instead, it provides decision makers, through economic theory and empirical research, with a better insight into the microeconomic influences at play.
