论文摘要
欧洲共同市场融合的核心目标是融合和经济增长，但由于冗余和价值链的不对称而阻碍了这些目标。挑战在于如何协调劳动部以达到全球竞争力，同时整个欧盟的生产力差异。我们通过在EU15和中欧和东欧（CEE）之间应用所揭示的比较优势方法来开发一种两方网络方法来追踪成对共同特性化。这种方法评估了欧盟在行业和国家层面的裁员和劳动分工。我们发现CEE国家之间的共同特殊化显着，但EU15和CEE之间的专业化有所不同。在欧盟加入后与其他CEE国家共同规范化的CEE行业的生产率提高，而CEE和EU15国家的共同化与生产率增长的关系较小。这些结果表明，部门专业化的部门可以导致EU15和CEE国家之间的生产率融合。
Core objectives of European common market integration are convergence and economic growth, but these are hampered by redundancy, and value chain asymmetries. The challenge is how to harmonize labor division to reach global competitiveness, meanwhile bridging productivity differences across the EU. We develop a bipartite network approach to trace pairwise co-specialization, by applying the Revealed Comparative Advantage method, within and between EU15 and Central and Eastern European (CEE). This approach assesses redundancies and division of labor in the EU at the level of industries and countries. We find significant co-specialization among CEE countries but a diverging specialization between EU15 and CEE. Productivity increases in those CEE industries that have co-specialized with other CEE countries after EU accession, while co-specialization across CEE and EU15 countries is less related to productivity growth. These results show that a division of sectoral specialization can lead to productivity convergence between EU15 and CEE countries.
