The main purpose of this paper is to study the influence of various indicators related to the knowledge economy on country competitiveness in the European Union (EU). Based on the Pearson coefficient and panel-data regression models, we analyzed the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) in relation to research and development (R&D) expenditure (as a % of gross domestic product (GDP)), percentage of population with tertiary education, lifelong learning, GDP per capita, and debt to equity. The findings highlighted the crucial role of both innovation and education as determinants of EU competitiveness and economic convergence. The development of EU policies regarding the lifelong learning possibilities of the European workforce and the focus on research and development activities can significantly contribute to the competiveness of EU member states.

“…Competitiveness can be analyzed at the level of countries, regions, sectors or productive chains, organizations, and products. Research carried out by Ajitabh and Momaya (2003) and Balkyte and Tvaronaviciene (2010) and corroborated by Herciu and Ogrean (2015) identified three perspectives with greater recurrence: national, sectorial, and organizational competitiveness. Production factors and technology are the basis for establishing competitive conditions for an organization, a product, or a productive sector.…”

Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food sectors in Brazil. Cage fish farming has been widely practiced in the country, mainly in hydroelectric reservoirs. However, different regulatory, technical, and economic challenges may need to be overcome before the sector can achieve increased national and international competitiveness. This study aimed to analyze and compare the competitiveness of tilapia cage farms located on different sides of the Canoas I hydroelectric reservoir, which forms the border between the states of São Paulo and Paraná, Brazil. Structured questionnaires were administered to all fish farmers in the reservoir. Questions about seven competitiveness indicators were rated on a 5-point Likert scale. The results revealed that the major barriers to competitiveness are the institutional environment and environmental sustainability. Paraná has an active environmental inspection service, but São Paulo does not. As a result, tilapia fish farmers in Paraná gave more importance to environmental compliance than those located in São Paulo.

The aim of the paper is to present the problem of measuring intellectual capital in the perspective of social accounting that is used for recognizing economic processes in the macroeconomic scale. The realization of the purpose took place on the basis of the analysis of literature and documents published by international organizations. The conducted research enabled formulation of the assumption that the measurement of intellectual capital is a difficult task and is related to the complex character of this category. So far noone has formed such definition of national intellectual capital that would be universally accepted and would clearly specify its scope. Additionally, there is no agreement as regards the taxonomy of NIC, owing to which the components of intellectual capital specified by particular authors are varied. Despite the indicated difficulties the techniques of social accounting and their applications must be constantly developed so that they enabled the measurement of NIC. Therefore, there are undertaken initiatives that aim at elaborating both methods and techniques that will enable the measurement of NIC. From the perspective of social accounting particular importance is attached to those initiatives that are undertaken by international institutions.
