Summary: A socio-economic study has been commissioned by the coordinator of Priority Area (PA) 8, located within the Ministry of Finance and Economics Baden-Wuerttemberg. It is financed by the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy of the European Commission and co-financed by the Ministry. One aim of the study is to analyse the current situation in the Danube Region with respect to prosperity, entrepreneurship/SMEs and cooperation activities to identify the obstacles which hinder the improvement of the situation. In the first part of the study, we make a comprehensive inventory of the socioeconomic situation of the Danube Region by putting together a broad variety of indicators. We consider three broad topics:
The analysis is based on several data sources such as Eurostat, UNdata, the World Bank, Statistical Offices, OECD, Penn World Tables and data from the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW). Besides documenting the socio-economic status, the indicators were used for describing potential opportunities, needs and challenges in each of the above mentioned areas as well as for giving some preliminary recommendations. |
