摘要：

An Assessment of Three Measures of Competitiveness. - This paper discusses three indicators of competitiveness: real exchange rates based on consumer price indices, export unit values of manufacturing goods, and normalized unit labour costs in manufacturing. It discusses how each of these measures is associated with changes in a country's balance of trade in goods and nonfactor services and examines how each one of these indicators is related to each other. It then examines the empirical performance of each in terms of its ability to explain trade flows. The conclusion is that in examining an issue as complex as trade competitiveness, the use of one indicator is suboptimal.
