博士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 國際企業學系 === 106 === Sustained economic growth has always been the primary goal pursued by nearly every country in the world. There are many indicators of economic growth, but so far there is no article discussing how the relationship between global competitiveness and industrial concentration has an impact on economic growth. The global competitiveness indicator started in 2004, andit is hoped that through the interaction between the indicators of global competitiveness and industrial concentration that it will be possible to understand what impacts these two factors will have on future economic growth. This study took30 developed countries and 12 developing countries as the samplewith the study period covering 2006 to 2014The empirical method analyzes the effect of global competitiveness and national industrial concentration on economic growth by using the panel data model with the fixed effect. The empirical results show that: (1) in the developed countries, the effect of industrial concentration on the economic growth rate is not obvious; (2) overall, the promotion of national global competitiveness can enhance the national economic growth rate,a government should thus be committed to relevant policies, and (3) most of the evidence shows that due to anincrease in industrial concentration,developed countrieswill reduce their global competitiveness fromthe economic growth benefits brought about by such an increase,which subsenquently has the greatest impact on national performance indicators. Governments should thus propose to strengthen the efficiencies of education and the labor, economic, and financial markets.
