  • Learning by interacting and catching up in Central and Eastern European countries : evidence from outward processing traffic
    Pellegrin, Julie
    The article looks at Outward Processing Traffic (OPT) between the European Union (EU) and Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) to provide evidence on whether and how international trade and ... production contribute to raising CEECs' competitiveness. Adopting a "learning and innovation approach", it finds that OPT has been characterised by its unanticipated enduring persistence with important implications for the terms on which East-West interdependence is expanding. Developing mainly at the instigation of large German companies in the con text of rationalisation strategies at the regional scale, O PT has become in some circumstances an instrument of "learning by interacting", helping local firms to upgrade their capabilities and boost their competitiveness. However, the "learning mechanisms" that the arrangement triggers are developing unevenly throughout sectors and countries, with the resulting further entrenchment of development potential in the region.
