Abstract

Europe 2020 is a set of eight indicators used by the European Commission for monitoring headline targets of the Strategy for Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth, which is considered to be the successor of the Lisbon Strategy. Values of these indicators vary among the European countries. Because some countries can be identified as outliers, robust regression as an acceptable analytic tool was applied. The aim of the paper is to construct relevant regression models for each Europe 2020 indicator as a dependent variable. The targets of the Europe 2020 indicators can be achieved by targeting some specific economic, social and environmental indicators.
