Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the measurement of competitiveness at a regional level. This study refers to regions belonging to the second level NUTS 2 in the European Union. The analysis was conducted using the synthetic indicator of competitiveness. Thus, 273 NUTS 2 regions were taken into consideration along with 32 typically rural regions identified in this study. The results of this study indicate significant regional diversification in the competitiveness in the EU. The dissimilarities exist at the level of countries, NUTS 2 regions, as well as at the EU’s typical rural regions. The regional level indicator is spatially correlated.
