| Abstract: | The impact of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies' trade integration with European markets on CEE trace structures has been studied extensively. These studies frequently observe a quality upgrading of CEE exports. In this article we consider three dimensions of quality upgrading: upgrading across different quality segments within industries and, in the end, product upgrading within quality segments inside industries. By contrast, while there is a general catching-up process inside quality segments and across industries, the second notion of low-quality specialization may be applicable within the high-tech industries to the performance for the Baltics and South East Europe as a group. |
