DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS IN THE STUDY OF ROMANIAN REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

In this paper we propose using the discriminant analysis for the identification of a typology for the Romanian counties by the economic development level. In this purpose, we used a set of variables that characterize the economic and social development. The treatment of the data is done with the SPSS software. The results obtained in this paper can be used as arguments in making decisions regarding the harmonization of the Romanian regions and the allocation of the investments in appropriate counties and regions.
