THE ANALYSIS OF THE EU MEMBER STATES’ COMPETITIVENESS BASED ON STATISTICAL METHODS

In our current paper we analysed the alignments of the EU member states based on the 2005 and 2008 IMD and WEF competitiveness rankings and based on the indicators used for the ranking which can be considered as decisive ones having indirect effect. We analysed the realignments within and among the groups based on their rank values in the competitiveness ranking
