Abstract

The paper suggests that inter-regional competitive advantage can either be read in terms of an analysis of the factors determining the same, i.e. wages, relative prices, infrastructures, skills level of workforce, etc., or in terms of results or their outcome. The authors have taken the second option and thus have taken the overall rise in the employment rate as the symptom or indicator of any given european area's level of competitive competence during the period 1985-1993. The analysis has thrown up that the most competitive regions are to be found both at the centre and on the outskirts of the EEC which is here felt to invalidate such works as uphold that there is a direct link between regional economic dynamism and a closeness the central Europe.
