Konkurentnost selektovanih zemalja Balkana u periodu 2006-2015.
Competitiveness of the Selected Balkan Countries in the Period 2006-2015
Apstrakt
U radu je istraživan nivo konkurentnosti dve grupe balkanskih zemalja. Prvu grupu čine zemlje iz bližeg okruženja Republike Srbije koje su nečlanice EU (Albanija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Makedonija , Crna Gora , Srbija) a drugu grupu čine pet zemalja članice EU (Bugarska. Hrvatska, Grčka, Mađarska i Rumunija). Period na koje se istraživanje odnosi se proteže od 2006. do 2015. godine. Nivo konkurnentosti zemalja sagledavan je putem vrednosti globalnog indeksa konkurentnosti Svetskog ekonomskog foruma. Pri tom je posebno sagledavana konkurentnost zemlje koju generiše posedovanje i efikasna upotreba faktora proizvodnje (Basic & Efficiency factors based competitiveness), s jedne i konkurentnost bazirana na osnovu inovativnosti i sofisticiranosti poslovanja (Innovation & Sophistication factors based competitiveness) s druge strane. Došlo se do zaključka da grupa ne-EU zemalja zaostaju po svim pokazateljima za grupom EU zemalja. Međutim, podaci u ispitivanom periodu otkrivaju izražen trend konvergencije konkurentnosti ovih grupa zemalja.
Abstract
The paper considers the level of competitiveness of two groups of Balkan countries. The first group consists of neighboring countries of the Republic of Serbia that are not members of the EU (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia), while the second group consists of five member states of the EU (Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary and Romania). Research refers to a time period from 2006 to 2015. The level of competitiveness of countries is analyzed through the value of the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum. Special focus is on Basic & Efficiency factors based competitiveness, on the one hand, and Innovation & Sophistication factors based competitiveness, on the other. The conclusion is that Serbia and the selected non-EU countries are lagging behind the group of EU countries, by all indicators. However, data for the observed period reveal trend of convergence of these groups’ competitiveness.
