This study, initiated within the framework of IIASA’s Young Scientists Summer
Program 2001, investigates some key issues related to the enlargement and, in
particular, the competitiveness of forest-based industries in the candidate countries. The
main contribution of this study is its holistic approach to discern various forms of
industrial competi...

Context 1
... with the increased EU orientation, the export of forest-based products by CEECs has grown faster than the EU's export, indicating more intensified specialization and adaptation to the European market system. As suggested in Figure 2, the share of the CEECs combined export 4 has increased strikingly in the wood and wood products sector reaching almost 20% by 2000. The corresponding share of pulp and paper shows a slower and more stable development. ...
Context 2
... in Bulgaria, the closed economy was the dominating character of Romania at the beginning of the transition process. Comparing the absolute values of imp/cons and exp/prod across the four countries, 78% of Romanian forest based industries can be classified as inward oriented and non-specialized ( Figure 12). Consequently, these properties are strongest for cluster C4, which presents the inward oriented cluster in Romania. ...
Context 3
... C3 links the inward oriented and high deficit clusters and is characterized by a slight and balanced specialization and balanced trade. As conveyed in Figure 12, clusters C1 and C2 are located above the diagonals and are the most competitive clusters in the first period (1993)(1994)(1995). ...
Context 4
... with the high export value of A3 is the highest trade surplus, high comparative advantage, and moderate specialization of some products, particularly the papers in Poland and the Czech Republic. In other respects, the pattern of A3 seems to be typical for sawnwood -four out of seven product groups are sawnwood -and, as seen in Figure 12, the advanced candidates dominate this cluster. ...

... One result of the major political and social changes in CEE and SEE has been an increased interest in privatisation in the forestry sector over the last three decades, something that has been described in a number of publications and papers published since 1990 (Lipton et al., 1990;Hanzl and Urban, 2001;Jager and Szepesi, 2002;Viitamo and Bilas, 2002;Ioras and Abrudan, 2006;Ilavský, 2006;Lawrence, 2009;Živojinović et al., 2017). ...
... This kind of analysis describes different sectors within and out of the forest sector.

The main contribution of this study is its holistic approach to discern various forms of industrial competitiveness in selected candidate countries. ...
This paper analyzes and evaluates the European Union (EU) utilization of renewable resources in energy production and consumption. Biomass and renewable waste, with a share of 64.2% of primary renewable energy production, is the most important energy source in the EU. However, utilization of renewables in energy production and consumption differs across EU countries and is significantly influenced by various factors, including environmental, social, and economic characteristics. Cluster analysis was used to reveal these differences based on the identification and quantification of a set of factors reflecting the availability of renewable resources, utilization of renewable resources, and relevant socio-economic indicators. The results indicate that there are nine main identifiable clusters, considering the high variability of selected variables. The analysis confirmed that the economically developed EU countries with significant renewable resources have above-average primary energy production from renewable resources and biomass in particular. On the other hand, small EU countries are aggregated in numerous clusters characterized by under-average values in terms of availability and utilization of renewable resources such as wood production or energy consumption but with a relatively high share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption.
... Based on the Porterian approach [2], the competitiveness of one industry can enhance the competitiveness of related industries and vice versa. To measure the competitiveness of the selected clusters the following indicators were used [3]: ...
This paper deals with the evaluation of competitiveness of the sectors of production and use of
industrial roundwood and sawnwood in Slovakia. Both selected sectors, divided to coniferous and nonconiferous, are considered to be separate clusters for the purposes of this analysis. Absolute and
relative competitive indicators are defined in order to evaluate competitiveness of each cluster.
Additionally, changes in competitiveness are analysed in time during the period 1998 – 2008.
