Abstract

In this paper, we use the method of the InterCriteria Analysis, based on the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and index matrices, to analyze a dataset extracted from the Global Competitiveness Index, concerning the most problematic factors for doing business in the European Union member states. The method is applied on the data of these 28 countries extracted from the Global Competitiveness Report 2017–2018.
