Analysis of the Development of Regional Disparities in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: Currently exited the problem of slow economic growth, the development in backward regions of Slovakia came sharply to the forefront. Consistent implementation of new economic theories to the economic practice can help to the sustainable development of each region as well as to the revitalization of their business environment. There are various approaches and methods used in evaluation of regional differences. Among the most commonly used methods based on the analysis of the indicator of the region GDP per capita (b. c.) is the analysis on the basis of the direct method, i.e. measuring speed (m) and Gini coefficient (IG). The aim of this article is to evaluate the level of economic development of Presov region (the most backward region of Slovakia) relative to other regions of Slovakia and to point out the economic divergence in the Slovak Republic. We assume that within the period under review the widening of regional disparities occurs. This analysis confirmed our assumption.
