Globalisation and the rapid integration of China and
India into the international economy present huge
opportunities for the European Union. But only those
member-states with a strong comparative advantage
in knowledge-based goods and services will benefit.
The CER’s seventh Lisbon scorecard paints a mixed
picture of the EU’s prospects. While some member
states are well-placed, others are not and must invest
much more in human capital and research and development.
Katinka Barysch is chief economist, Simon
Tilford is head of the business unit, and Aurore
Wanlin is a research fellow at the Centre for
European Reform.
