Abstract: The relationships between export competitiveness and separate productivity factors are complex. Since the late 1990s debates on these relationships have been strongly influenced by the Krugman hypothesis, which states that the competitiveness could be measured directly by productivity. In the paper it is assumed, that export competitiveness is derivative of main factors’ productivities, therefore properly presented and juxtaposed data on labour, capital and energy productivity/intensity would provide with new insights about character of relations between export competitiveness and main production factors productivities. Practical approach for predicting the Lithuanian export competitiveness future change direction by using listed indicators is being suggested. As a result, possible implications of main productivity factors impact on further export competitiveness have been foreseen.
