Abstract: A multi-criteria analysis of regional disparities in Romania (2000-2016). The analysis of regional disparities has been the subject of many articles of researche, in particular in relation to the EU Cohesion Policy. However, many studies analyse disparities only from the perspective of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The objective of this article is to report the evolution of regional disparities from a multidimensional approach, by comparing the evolution of economic disparities with the evolution of socio-demographic ones. We take as case study the evolution of Romanian counties (42 NUTS3 units) between 2000-2016. The TOPSIS multicriteria decision-making method was employed for the calculation of two synthetic indices related to the economic and social development of NUTS3 units. The results show growing economic disparities. On the other hand, statistical analyses show a lack of correlation between economic performance and social development for the first part of the 2000s, followed by a gradual emergence of dependence between the two dimensions of development. Thus, during the period analysed, social development is becoming more and more associated with economic development, to the point that today this relationship is quite strong and significant.
