“…In previous negotiations on the transatlantic partnership, similarly as in the negotiations concerning establishment of many other preferential trade areas and those on the WTO forum, the agricultural sector was one of the most sensitive topics. This resulted first of all from the asymmetry in the level of protection of agricultural markets in the EU and the USA, correlated with considerable differences in the production potential of agriculture and the food industry in these countries [22][23][24][25]. In the EU-USA relations, a 2.5-fold lowering of tariff barriers in the access to agricultural markets was found in the USA [22], which additionally, to a lesser extent, supported domestic production [24].…”

“…The problem of competitiveness of the agri-food sector in the case of the EU countries is frequently investigated both in terms of the production potential and productivity of agriculture [24,25,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], as well as international competitive position of the agri-food sector [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. In view of the limited access to comprehensive data and information comparable on the international scale, analyses of the competitive potential and competitive capacity of the food industry are conducted relatively rarely [45][46][47][48][49].…”

“…These include geographical indications, sanitary and phytosanitary restrictions, food safety regulations and administrative requirements. As has been mentioned above, using tariff barriers lower than the EU levels and supporting domestic production to a lesser extent [22,24], the USA in the agri-food trade maintain higher levels of non-tariff protection than the EU. The USA are also more active in initiating procedures aiming at the establishment of new non-tariff instruments of market protection [93].…”

The systematically strengthening role of emerging economies has become a factor strongly determining the overall trade policy of the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA), as well as their bilateral relations. One of the initiatives aiming at the strengthening of economic ties within the transatlantic partnership, as a consequence promoting stabilization of the positions of the EU and the USA in the world economy, was related with negotiations concerning the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The EU-USA trade talks were suspended at the end of 2016; however, the establishment of the EU-USA free trade area might be a breakthrough in the transatlantic relations, while the conclusion of this agreement would significantly determine the competitive position of the agri-food sector of these two economies, both in their bilateral relations and in world trade. In view of the above, the aim of this paper is to estimate the competitive position of the EU agri-food sector in transatlantic trade considering the conclusion of the agreement establishing the EU-USA free trade area. For this purpose, Widodo’s method of mapping products on the target market was applied. Results from the conducted analyses suggest that from 2010–2020 comparative advantages gained by the EU on the US market were sources of an advantageous export specialization. In view of the forecasted dynamic increase in agri-food export from the EU to the USA caused by possible liberalization of bilateral trade, the relatively strong competitive position of the EU on the American market might be maintained or even strengthened. However, such a situation would be determined by the regulatory cooperation progressing with the reduction of tariffs.

“…About the industry's competitiveness potential, efficiency indicators of production factors are used. The most popular is the labor productivity index (Zhang and London, 2013), which was used in research, for example, by Łukiewska and Juchniewicz (2019) and Pawlak and Poczta (2020). Only a few studies have used analytical schemes or evaluation models.…”

Purpose:The main aim of the research was to assess the international competitiveness of the furniture industry in the EU Member States. The article deals with the interpretation and methods of measuring competitiveness at this level of economic analysis. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used the measurement model of the international competitiveness of an industry -the proposed methodology allowed for a broad assessment of competitive potential and competitive position. A set of competitiveness indicators and a multidimensional statistical analysis were presented. Findings: The international competitiveness of the EU furniture industry is diversified. The furniture industries in Poland, Italy, and Germany had the most significant competitive advantage by far. These countries have exceptionally high production potential and big export share. Practical Implications: The research can inform furniture manufacturers about the factors that contribute to increase competitiveness. Some strengths and areas for improvement in the operation of the furniture industry from various countries were identified. These may be relevant for building a lasting competitive advantage in the international market. Originality/Value: Competitiveness is a category that is relatively rarely studied at the sector level. The present study performs a broad assessment of the furniture industry's competitiveness, considering both the factor and the result dimensions. The empirical research presented herein has both theoretical and practical value. The employed methodology is universal and can be used to assess various industries and sectors of the economy.
