Abstract
Duo to the progress of globalization, regional economy becomes more important. No matter in developing or developed countries, the concept of regional competitiveness gradually attracts governments and scholars’ attention.
The study is mainly based on the theory and reference of national, regional and industrial competitiveness, like the WEF Global Competitiveness Report and IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook. It also compared and reviewed some reference material about regional competitiveness, especially the Clusters of Innovation Initiative. Through reviewing the relative theories and trends, this research built a regional competitiveness measure system which includes three major dimensions: “output measures”, “innovator measures” and “common business environment measures”.
In order to create subindicators of these three major dimensions, this study collected the statistical data of forty-six subindicators on Taiwan twenty-three counties during 2002 to 2004. Then, regressed the forty-six subindicators with disposable income and analyzed the correlation between them. Finally chose the best suitable twelve subindicators from them and created four new subindicators to construct the evaluation system of county economic competitiveness.
Base on the analysis, the result shows that
(1) It is not always better to put more indicators to the evaluation system. Because of high correlation between indicators may diminish the accuracy of evaluation system.
(2) Some indicators prepared by the official have lost the ability to identify the difference among the counties. On the contrary, there is still no official data about some crucial measures, especially related to innovation.
(3) Compare to traditional industries, High tech industries have greater influence to regional economy.
(4) On economic side, the quality of human resource is far more important to the quantity of human resource
