 | Valuable data available in new Eurostat regional statistiscal yearbook 14-11-2006 The 2006 edition of "Regions: Statistical yearbook" is now available online
at Eurostat. The yearbook covers the 254 regions of the 25 EU Member States,
defined by level 2 of the Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS
2003), and the 14 statistical regions in the candidate countries Bulgaria and
Romania. It contains chapters on population, GDP, household accounts, labour
market, labour productivity, urban statistics, science, technology and
innovation, business, health, transport and agriculture. New this year is the
chapter on labour productivity.
The Urban Audit chapter concentrates on the competitiveness of cities,
analysing various facets of benchmarking cities that compete against each other.
Cities are well positioned to benefit from the current economic changes and
become more significant economic actors. Consequently, the concept of
competitiveness is extended and analysed at city level. Several of the 270 Urban
Audit indicators have been related to urban competitiveness.
The indicators described in the yearbook were chosen, on the one hand, to
show important inputs for urban competitiveness (labour supply, human capital,
business structure, etc.), outputs (gross domestic product), and outcomes
(income, etc) and, on the other hand, to demonstrate the various aspects of the
Urban Audit data set, such as the range of spatial units applied or the
different data sources used.
