Abstract

V originále

This paper discusses the macroeconomic competitiveness of the Visegrad Group Plus countries. This kind of competitiveness is divided into measurable (qualitative) input and output indicators and non-measurable (quantitative) indicators, as economic performance, government and business efficiency and infrastructure. The aim of this paper, besides the description of development of non-measurable competitiveness indicators and its comparison, is to find out if the disparities in the field of this kind of competitiveness among countries exist or not. Two assumptions were set: first - the disparities among monitored countries exist, second - the values of factors values have improved between years 2004 and 2013. These assumptions were verified firstly through the method of standard deviation and secondly through the coefficient of variation, the first one was confirmed and second one was rejected.
