Weighting methods for constructing composite indices in regional development
Original language description
The paper deals with an issue of weighted composite indices construction for evaluation of regional development in the European Union. There is no uniform methodological approach to the evaluation of regional development and composites indices are one of the suitable techniques that allow to aggregate and summarise the multidimensional characteristics. However, the constructing of the composite indices includes not only a problem of the selection of indicators and quantitative method of their processing but also a question of indicators or sub-indices weights. The regional indicators can have different representativeness during regional trends development. The main aim of the paper is to explore the various types of weighting methods and analyse their possibilities for the constructing of composite indices in a field of regional development. The empirical case of a weighted composite index of regional disparities is discussed.
