Comparative and competitive advantages: The performance of the EU in a global context

The paper proposes a new research design and framework to analyze the pattern of competition in the global market. Using revealed measures of comparative advantage and firm-specific advantages the competitive position of EU manufacturing industries is analyzed in relation to the structural characteristics of the industries. The framework is applied to examine the pattern of international alliances formed in the EU during the 1980s. In addition to shedding new light on the competitive position of European firms, the study offers some new perspectives for further research.
