CHANGES IN THE EXPORT COMPETITIVENESS OF THE VISEGRAD GROUP AND GERMAY IN YEARS 2004-2014 – IS THERE CONVERGENCE?

Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 0

Abstract

We analyse the changes in the export competitiveness of the Visegrad Group founding members: Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary (V4). We treat these changes as a demonstration of the V4’s ability to catch up with the most developed EU countries, in this study represented by Germany. The analysis covers the years 2000-2014, where 2000 sets the moment when the pre-accession adjustments took place, and 2014 is the last year with available relevant statistical data. The study covers a period of 15 years, during which – in our opinion – long-term changes should be visible. In order to emphasize important events that took place within the years under investigation (accession of the V4 countries to the EU and the collapse of world trade), we divide the analysed period into two sub-periods, distinguishing the years 2004 and 2009. The changes are presented chronologically to evaluate the evolution of the V4 export competitiveness within the entire 15-year period. Discussion of the results is preceded by the introduction concerning the concept of competitiveness and the presentation of research methodology.<br/><br/>
