COMPETITIVENESS viene così definita dal
Glossario dell'Economic Outlook di OECD:
"A measure of a country's advantage or disadvantage in selling its products in international markets. The OECD Secretariat calculates two different measures of competitiveness based on the differential between domestic and competitors' unit labour costs in manufacturing and consumer prices both expressed in a common currency. (For further detail see notes to
Annex Tables 42 and 43.) The OECD also produces indices of nominal effective exchange rates (
Annex Tables 36). Competitiveness indicators are currently calculated for twenty-eight OECD countries, the seven Dynamic Asian Economies and five major emerging market countries (Argentina; Brazil; China; India; and Russia since 1993). Forty-four export markets are considered: 28 OECD countries, twelve non-OECD countries and four zones".
In pratica se consideriamo la pubblicazione Economic Outlook di OECD, e in particolar modo la sezione statistica
Statistical Annex le tavole da consultare per valutare secondo le definizioni OECD la competitività internazionale sono:
Annex Table 42. Competitive positions: relative consumer prices
Annex Table 43. Competitive positions: relative unit labour costs
Annex Table 46. Nominal effective exchange rates
