Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the relative positions of Western
Balkan countries and to determine the differences or similarities in the results
based on survey data (of international institutions: EBRD, World Bank, World
Economic Forum, Heritage Foundation), and based on selected key statistical
indicators. By using the sample of countries in the same region and by applying
the method of “multi-country” statistical analysis, it was attempted to establish
relation between results obtained in studies of international institutions,
and some actually achieved key economic performances by the correlation
coefficients (so-called Spearman's and Kendall’s). The obtained results differ
to a smaller or greater extent according to the experiential test we had used in
the case of this region. Therefore, our findings reveal that overall economic
position of selected country cannot be perceived only by relying on one methodology
or type of data. Consequently, we point out that multi-criteria are a
must and each methodology can be useful, because it emphasizes different
aspects of the economic performances and country position.
