Structural features of economic integration in an enlarged Europe: patterns of catching-up and industrial specialisation - Michael A. Landesmann pdf (580 kB) Choose translations of the previous link 

This paper discusses the evolution of competitiveness, industrial and trade specialisation in the manufacturing sector of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs). It is shown that the paths taken by the different CEECs have been quite diverse and we attempt to apply a combination of a catching-up plus trade specialisation model which is required to understand the patterns of specialisation emerging in Central and Eastern Europe.
