Abstract

Questions about regional disparities has recently become of interest not only politicians but also the general public. This is primarily related to the economic crisis, which has contributed to a greater deepening of regional disparities not only at the level of Slovakia, but also throughout the EU area. For analysis of regional disparitiesare use different types of regional economic analyzes. However, many of these analyzes can not be practically applied, because there is a time lag of reporting of some statistical indicators (eg. GDP is reported with a delay of several years) and also because not all indicators are statistically monitored at all levels of NUTS. The paper is based on the use of indirect methods for measuring the development level of regions highlight the regional differences between the selected regions in Slovakia.

Keywords: regional disparities, regional economic analysis, indirect methods of measuring the level of development of regions, scoring method
