Abstract

Competitiveness receives a lot of attention. Commentators are often concerned about the loss of competitiveness, and policy actions are motivated by a desire to improve competitiveness. What is typically being referred to is the competitiveness of firms, nations or other geographic areas. The competitiveness of firms differs from that of geographic areas, however, and there is a need to clarify the difference between them.
