Application of selected weighting methods and TOPSIS method in regional disparities analysis

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper deals with a multicriteria analysis of regional disparities in the context of European cohesion. The elimination of the economic, social and territorial disparities among European regions is the primary objective of the European Union (EU). Thanks to EU Cohesion Policy, the regional disparities decreased over the past decade, however a wide gap has still remained between the less developed and the highly developed regions. In terms of the evaluation of regional disparities there is no uniform methodological approach to determination of weights of regional indicators and regional disparities assessment. The multicriteria decision making (MCDM) methods can be considered as a suitable and useful tool. The main aim of the paper is to outline the different weighting methods within MCMD method and compare the effects of their application in the regional disparities analysis namely on case study. The selected weighting methods are used to derive the weights of the regional indicators. The TOPSIS method is employed to rank the NUTS 2 regions in the selected EU countries according to their socio-economic development in the context of EU cohesion. An empirical study demonstrated a feasibility of the weighting and MCDM methods in quantitative evaluation of the regional disparities.
