Usability of the MCDM and multivariate methods in the process of the regional disparities evaluation: Case of the Visegrad Group

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper deals with a problem of quantitative analysis of regional disparities in the context of the EU Cohesion Policy. Thanks to the 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 EU 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 and multivariate methods (cluster analysis) can be considered as a suitable and useful tool. The aim of the paper is to evaluate and compare the development of regional disparities in the Visegrad Group in the years 2004 and 2014 by the selected MCDM and multivariate methods. The selected weighting method (CRITIC method) is used to derive the weights of the regional indicators. Based on TOPSIS method and cluster analysis, ranking of NUTS 2 regions and homogeneous clusters of regions are determined. In the conclusion the results of case study and the advantages and disadvantages of the selected quantitative methods in the regional disparities evaluation are discussed.
