Competitiveness at the country-sector level : new measures based on global value chains

Marczak, Martyna; Beissinger, Thomas - 2018

We propose the so-called domestic "embodied unit labor costs" (EULC) at the country-sector level as a new cost-related basis for measures of international competitiveness. EULC take into account that a sector's labor costs constitute only a small share of its total cost which to a large extent...
