THE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF CROATIAN CITIES – STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Izvorni znanstveni članak This paper presents a statistical analysis of fundamental economic (municipal and firm level) indicators of Croatian cities. The analysis is conducted on a sample of 91 cities, whereby the emphasis is being placed both on fiscal position of individual municipal administrations and business results of entrepreneurs doing business in those municipalities. The focus is also placed on differences in economic indicators stemming from size of the cities, the distribution of the cities in larger regional units and dominant political party in a city. The analysis applies Leven test for homogeneity of variance, ANOVA, and Sheffe post hoc-test. The results suggest that there are statistically significant differences in municipal economic indicators, where the most persistent differentiation stems from differences in the share of tax revenues in total revenues. Other detected differences are related to small and big cities, and between cities in Northwest and Continental Croatia when compared to the rest of the country. cities; local self-government units; variance analysis; entrepreneurial successfullness Puni tekst: pdf (506 KB), Hrvatski, Str. 115 - 138
