Abstract: We relied this research on the findings of a previous study (Popa & Stefan, 2015b) which (by means of Factor Analysis procedure) revealed two factors/dimensions of country-level competitiveness in the initial dataset of twelve variables provided by the raw data (Competitiveness Dataset – xls), on which was built The Global Competitiveness Report 2014 -2015 (World Economic Forum, 2014a). Furthermore, the first factor/dimension of competitiveness (Smart Growth) suggests a possible link with the objectives set by the Strategy Euro 2020 (a smart, inclusive and sustainable Europe). In this respect, the aim of this paper is (based on the above-mentioned data and findings) to propose a synthetic indicator of country-level competitiveness and to deepen the analysis by investigating the possible causal relationships between the proposed index and the objectives of Euro 2020 Strategy. Thus, we have proposed a number of nine research hypotheses, which have been tested and most of them validated by means of linear regression procedure.
