08.11.2012Welcome to the website of "Regional Profiles: Indicators of Development 2012"

We have the pleasure to welcome you to the website of the first edition of "Regional Profiles: Indicators of Development 2012", prepared by the Institute for Market Economics and our partners from Microstat Analytics.

The Bulgarian edition of study was first presented on October 8th 2012.

 

About the Study

The study presents the socio-economical condition and development of the districts in Bulgaria on the basis of 57 indicators, organized in 8 different categories - economy, business environment, infrastructure, demography, education, health, natural environment, and social environment.

In addition to the 28 district profiles, the study includes thematic analyses on topics such as:

    • Local Tax Policy;
    • Main Trends in Primary and Secondary Education;
    • Business Environment and Factors Determining Life Satisfaction in different districts;
    • Cluster Analysis of the 28 districts in Bulgaria.

The study seeks answers to important questions such as:

    • What makes some districts more developed and prosperous, and others less developed and poorer?
    • Which are the districts with higher perception of corruption?
    • Which are the districts with most favorable business environment in Bulgaria?
    • What are the demograohic tendencies in each of the districts?
    • Which districts follow a similar development patterns and why?

What's to come?

    • Pressconference presenting the study;
    • Uploading additional materials and data;
    • Presenting the results from the study in different Bulgarian districts;
    • Organizing round tables and discussions with stakeholders;
    • Regular updates of the website;
    • An English version of the website will be launched in the beginning of December 2012.

The project “Regional Profiles: Indicators of Development” is carried out with the financial support of the America for Bulgaria Foundation.
