A chapter in Growth versus Security, 2008, pp 279-280 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Despite the recent apparent reversal of long-standing trends, with the EU’s economic growth accelerating in 2005–07 and US economic growth slowing down in 2006 and 2007, the underlying problems causing our concern about most European countries’ relatively poor performance vis-à-vis the United States remain intact. The recent trends have been too short in duration and reflect only aggregate data, not the structural problems of critical importance such as the capacity to innovate and the general flexibility of markets. Thus, despite the recent growth spurt, the EU countries have been unable to close the productivity and innovativeness differential or the 30 per cent GDP per capita gap that still exists between the two sides of the Atlantic.
