“…Consequently, laws related to regional policy needed to be changed. The introduction of a simple and transparent system of fiscal equalization based on appropriate criteria and fis-209 cal instruments remains a challenge for the Government (Bajo and Primorac, 2013).…”

“…LGUs with their development level measured by the development index. The main changes in the grant distribution to LGUs involve redirecting the grants from the state budget to LGUs, according to the development index, in the amount of corporate income tax generated in their area, and changes in the basic personal allowance (Bajo and Primorac, 2013). By this, LGUs classified in categories I and II will obtain the right to the entire (100%) corporate income tax revenue collected in their area, in category III to aid in the amount of 75%, in group IV 60%, and in category IV 40%.…”

The development level assessment and categorization of Croatian local and regional units is based on the value of the development index which is the main instrument of Croatian regional policy. The development index is a composite indicator calculated as a weighted average of five socioeconomic indicators. The goal of this paper is to analyze the uncertainty and sensitivity of the development index that arise from the procedures and indicators used in its construction. This analysis is then used to propose useful guidelines for future impovements. The methodology of the Croatian regional development index has been critically reviewed, revealing problems of multicollinearity and the existence of outliers. An empirical and relatively more objective multivariate approach for weight selection has been proposed. The uncertainty and sensitivity analysis were conducted using Monte Carlo simulations and variance-based techniques. Instead of a unique point estimate for the development level of territorial units an alternative confidence interval approach was considered.

“…Na područjima posebne državne skrbi nalazilo se ukupno 185 jedinica lokalne samouprave; u prvoj skupini 50 JLS-a, u drugoj skupini 61 JLS, a u trećoj skupini nalazile su se 74 JLS-a. Kriteriji za dobivanje statusa PPDS uglavnom nisu bili povezani sa stvarnim socio-ekonomskim pokazateljima pa su se na tim područjima nalazile i gospodarski nadprosječno razvijene lokalne jedinice (Bajo i Primorac, 2013.). Pristup regionalnom razvoju koji je proizašao iz centralnog planiranja bio je nekonzistentan te su mu nedostajali jasno definirani ciljevi, dionici i instrumenti (Maleković et al, 2011.).…”

“…Stoga je bilo potrebno promijeniti zakone vezane uz regionalnu politiku koja se često vodila u okviru politike fiskalnog izravnanja i obratno, zbog čega su se instrumenti i ciljevi tih politika često sukobljavali, a učinci poništavali uz visoke troškove za državni proračun. Uvođenje jednostavnijeg i transparentnijeg sustava fiskalnog izravnanja utemeljenog na kvalitetnim kriterijima i fiskalnim instrumentima i dalje ostaje izazov za Vladu (Bajo i Primorac, 2013. ).…”
