To this end we compile and analyse harmonised and comparable indicators on regional competitiveness for Upper Austria and a broad set of (108) other highly developed industrial regions in Europe, which we identified as relevant competitors to Upper Austria based on empirical cluster analyses. We reveal a high competitiveness of the Upper Austrian economy in this setting when looking at (macroeconomic) performance indicators and show a further improvement of the regions position since 2008 in relative terms. However, we also identify the need for a productivity and growth-oriented economic policy as a prerequisite to safeguard the competitive advantages established. Hence, we proceed with a deeper comparative analysis of the major determinants of competitiveness in innovation, internationalisation and human resources, and reveal regional strengths and weaknesses in these fields. Based on this SWOT profile we recommend policy measures in research and innovation policy, foreign trade policy and qualification policy that bear good prospects to contribute to further growth and productivity gains in the Upper Austrian economy.","onlinedate":"2017-09-04 10:00:00","lang":"German","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20170901","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"189","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":369373,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":false,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"","journal":"","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":"2017-09-04 10:00:00","types":[81966],"research_groups":[3481],"collaboration":"","persons":[3691],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3691,\"personName\":\"Peter Mayerhofer\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[10816],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[41601],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[\"Grabmayer Andrea\",\"Hofmann Kathrin\",\"Schuster Birgit\"]","scientific_review":"[\"Fritz Oliver\"]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
