“…The Spearman's correlation coefficient can take a range of values from −1, in case of perfect negative correlation, to +1, in case of perfect positive correlation between ranks ( 41 – 43 ). The used methods enable to rank the EU countries according to the selected criteria and to follow the competitiveness of the countries ( 44 , 45 ).…”

BackgroundAltogether, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Goal 3 is crucial in terms of good health and wellbeing. The main aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate differences among indicators of SDG 3: Sustainable health and wellbeing in the EU countries.MethodsThe status and development of the EU Member States regarding their successes or failures in terms of Goal 3 were subjected to analysis. Altogether, 11 indicators were used to rank the EU countries using the TOPSIS and ranking methods. The ranks were assigned to the countries in two periods. The first period is related to the time from 2010 till 2014, and the second period from 2015 till 2019.ResultsThe EU countries achieved a positive development in 10 of 11 indicators that monitor the achievement of the EU in terms of Goal 3. The only variable that changed negatively was the obesity rate. Positivity was observed in the decline of the standardized preventable and treatable mortality, which declined from 317.3 in the first period to 295 in the second period; the drop of the population weighted annual mean concentration of fine particulate PM2.5, from 16.4 to 13.6 μg/m3, and also in the increase of the share of people with good or very good perceived health, which was combined with a decrease of the self-reported unmet need for medical examination and care. The best-rated country in terms of SDG 3 was, in both periods, Sweden, while the worst-rated was Latvia.ConclusionsGovernments and institutions in the EU can intervene to increase the accessibility and quality of the health care system, but every citizen should try to do their best to reduce some of the risk factors, such as smoking or obesity, to try living healthier and to help to achieve higher ambitions in terms of sustainable health and wellbeing.

“…By employing factor analysis, the hypothesis was validated that two main factors, macroeconomic stability and research and development and digitalization 2 , are significant for strengthening competitiveness in European countries [18]. Digitalization (captured in a simplified manner, using information and communication technology indicators) was considered to provide a view of sustainable competitiveness for a more extensive set of 127 countries [19] and to enhance sustainability by verifying the relationship with five of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations, in the case of European Union countries [20].…”

In modern societies, digitalization plays a tremendously important role for people and businesses. Apart from an economic representation, competitiveness characterizes a society from political, cultural, or human points of view. In this article, we aim to highlight the role of digital development from a competitiveness perspective, as there are few studies related to this relationship. The empirical investigation is based on panel data analysis for European Union countries for 2017–2022, considering the digital economy and society index (DESI) and the index developed by International Institute for Management Development (IMD), respectively IMD world competitiveness index. The results obtained are reported both for general indices and for the components of DESI, presented separately for the groups of Central and Eastern European countries and Western European countries. They indicate different influences for the two groups of countries, with only a few common aspects. The most obvious is the case of skilled labor. This aspect demonstrates the link between the various dimensions of digitalization and changes in human capital development strategies, as they appear in the specialized literature.

“…The Global Competitiveness (GCI) 2019 comprises 103 indicators into 12 subfactors. These factors are innovation capability, adoption of ICT, labor market, infrastructure, macroeconomic stability, institutions, health, skills, product market, financial system, market size, and business dynamism (Boikova et al, 2021) organized in 4 categories as business dynamism, human capital, markets, and innovation capacity. It is also a composite indicator that details the factors and attributes driving stakeholder's productivity, growth, and human development (WEF, 2015: 1-2).…”

Ulusal girişimcilik ve ulusal rekabetçilik, ülkelerin ekonomik kalkınmasını etkileyen iki temel faktördür. Bu çalışmada, ulusal girişimciliğin ulusal rekabetçilik üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırma yöntemi olarak doğrusal ve doğrusal olmayan regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Eğri tahmin modeli uygulamasıyla doğrusal olmayan regresyon model tahminleri elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen modeller karşılaştırmalı olarak sunulmuştur. Örneklem alan 52 ülkeden oluşmaktadır. Ülkelerin ulusal girişimcilik değerleri “Küresel Girişimcilik Monitörü (GEM)” raporlarından elde edilmiştir. Ulusal rekabetçilik puanları “Küresel Rekabetçilik Endeksi (GCI)” raporlarından elde edilmiştir. Araştırma dönemi pandemi öncesi 2019 yılıdır. Araştırma bulgularına göre doğrusal olmayan modeller arasında en yüksek açıklama yüzdesine sahip model “Qubic” tahmin modeli olarak belirlenmiştir. Qubic doğrusal olmayan model ile doğrusal model karşılaştırıldığında her iki modelin de anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca doğrusal olmayan modelin açıklama yüzdesinin doğrusal modele göre daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara dayalı olarak, ulusal girişimcilik stratejilerinin belirlenmesinde genel girişimcilik stratejilerinin yanı sıra ülkeye özgü girişimcilik stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi önerilmiştir.
