Baltijos šalių išsivystymo palyginimas: praktiniai kompleksinio požiūrio taikymo aspektai

Abstract

In the pre­sen­ted pa­per it is ai­med to re­ve­al how dif­fe­rent ap­pro­ach to­wards de­ve­lop­ment mea­su­re­ment im­pacts on coun­tries' ran­king re­sults. De­ve­lop­ment of Lit­hu­a­nia, Lat­via and Es­to­nia is being es­ti­ma­ted by using three mul­ti-cri­te­ria met­hods, each of which is in­de­pen­dent­ly ap­plied to chosen sys­tem of in­di­ca­tors with dif­fe­rent­ly mo­de­led sig­ni­fi­can­ces of com­pri­sing com­po­nents. Authors' over­view of con­si­de­red coun­tries de­ve­lop­ment du­ring 2000–2006 year pe­riod is being performed in the fol­lo­wing way: they jux­ta­po­se res­pec­ti­ve­ly com­pu­ted com­plex in­di­ca­tors' trends and GDP growth, rank the Bal­tic coun­tries ac­cor­ding to their le­vel of de­ve­lop­ment, and com­pa­re them to the Eu­ro­pe­an Union coun­tries. Ob­tai­ned re­sults al­lo­wed to in­di­ca­te how much spe­ci­fic mul­ti-cri­te­ria met­hod and its ap­pli­ca­tion pre­mi­ses im­pact on eva­lu­a­tion of conc­re­te coun­try and in what ca­ses countries' ran­king de­pends on eva­lu­a­tion tech­no­lo­gy the most. As a re­sult, so­me prac­ti­ca­li­ties of multicri­te­ria met­hods ap­pli­ca­tion ha­ve be­en ela­bo­ra­ted and im­pact of their use on eco­no­mic ana­ly­sis disclosed. Ke­y­words: coun­tries' de­ve­lop­ment, mul­ti-cri­te­ria eva­lu­a­tion, mo­de­ling, su­stai­nab­le development, Lit­hu­a­nia, Lat­via, Es­to­nia, the Eu­ro­pe­an Union.
