Summary/Abstract: Significant research has been conducted on the subject of the trade specialization and comparative advantages at national level, but too little attention has been given to the Romanian regions and counties, and thus this paper presents the trade performance at county and regional level. In order to measure the specialization profile of the counties and regions of Romania, the authors used a variety of comparative advantage indicators so as to make comparisons from different points of view. The comparison is made both between territorial levels and among product groups. The main goal of our approach is to highlight the sectors which generate comparative advantages through the calculation of indicators of competitiveness and specialization in different industries
