Competitiveness of Visegrad countries after joining the EU – international comparison

The aim of my diploma thesis is the macroeconomic analysis of the Visegrad Four countries after joining the EU, which will be evaluated in the international context. It will be assessed on three levels, both in terms of economic performance of V-4 converging countries, based on Eurostat statistical data and the Czech Statistical Office. At the second level, it will be assessed in terms of multi-criteria evaluation of the Global Competitiveness Report, which in addition to hard statistical data, is working with soft data as well. At the third level, the Competitiveness will be evaluated in terms of innovation performance, based on an evaluation tool of EU Innovation Union Scoreboard
