Competitiveness and Growth Policy Design. Philippe Aghion, March 22, 2016, Book Chapter. "After decades during which governments in developed countries would privilege domestic demand as a main driver of economic growth, the advent of globalisation has forced governments to increasingly turn their attention to the competitiveness of the domestic economy, i.e. the extent to which a country can export its production abroad and thereby 'exchange goods and services in which it is abundant for goods and services that it lacks'."
