Methodology

The Prosperity Index

We calculate the results of each of the pillars using approximately ten indicators that relate to the given issue. We draw this data from open sources such as Eurostat, OECD, WHO, World Bank or the UN.

We recalculate each metric according to the order in which the 27 European countries were placed, and we arrive at the results of each of the ten pillars in the same way. We evaluate each indicator with the same weight, so that there is no advantage or disadvantage of any of the variables.

In a similar way to how we calculate the results of each thematic pillar, at the end of the year, we also calculate the resulting Prosperity Index of the Czech Republic, which is then based on almost a hundred metrics.
