Regional Disparities Evaluation Using Entropy and TOPSIS Methods
Original language description
Applying the multicriteria decision making methods (MCDM) the paper solves the problem of an alternative approach to quantitative evaluation of the regional development. This paper proposes a combined entropy weight and a TOPSIS method for regional disparities evaluation. The information entropy is used to derive the objective weights of the regional indicators and the TOPSIS method is employed to rank the NUTS 2 regions in Visegrad Four countries (V4) according their socioeconomic development. The results of the analysis confirmed that the regional disparities between NUTS 2 regions with capital cities (Praha, Bratislavský kraj, Közép- Magyarország) and other regions existed in the year 2004 and have persisted till the year 2012 when they were strengthened by the impacts of the economic crisis.
