- Title
Balassa = revealed competitive advantage = activity.
- Authors
Rousseau, Ronald
- Abstract
Balassa = revealed competitive advantage = activity In a recent study (Mansourzadeh, Shahmoradi, Dehdaridad and Janavi [5]) the authors study the Balassa or revealed competitive advantage (RCA) index (Balassa [1]) and apply its algorithm to research evaluation studies. It seems that the authors are unaware of the fact that the Balassa algorithm is the same as the algorithm used in the calculation of the activity index (dealing with publications) and denoted as AI, and is essentially the same as the algorithm used for the Relative Specialization Index (RSI).
