A hybrid MCDM approach for evaluation of Croatian counties

The main purpose of this paper is to examine different indicators that explain the growing differences between counties in Croatia, based on which counties are further compared and ranked. The ranking of 21 counties in Croatia is performed using 14 different indicators so this process can be viewed as multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Many MCDM methods have been developed and widely used in empirical research. However, these methods often rank the alternatives using different approach which can sometimes lead to divergent results. Therefore, in this paper the goal is to resolve these possible divergent rankings of the alternatives obtained from ten MCDM methods using a hybrid MCDM approach based on Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
