The
Global Competitiveness Report (
GCR) is a yearly report published by the
World Economic Forum. Since 2004, the
Global Competitiveness Report ranks countries based on the
Global Competitiveness Index, developed by
Xavier Sala-i-Martin and Elsa V. Artadi. Before that, the macroeconomic ranks were based on
Jeffrey Sachs's
Growth Development Index and the microeconomic ranks were based on
Michael Porter's
Business Competitiveness Index. The
Global Competitiveness Index integrates the macroeconomic and the micro/business aspects of competitiveness into a single index.
