Achieve high rates of economic growth is the government’s task of any country because the future world order depends on the own ability to improve the living standards of its citizens. In Croatia, observed at the regional level, is present uneven economic growth according to the GDP per capita, while in line with the nominal growth rate economic development shows uniform movements. In recent years, Croatia has obtained a relatively high growth rates, but they were still below the average rate of other developing countries. Croatia did not follow the global development trends, and the reason for this lies primarily in the uneven economic growth by counties. Using data envelopment analysis, in this paper we determine efficient and inefficient counties, and which resources should be efficiently used to enhance regional production, and then also the total national production
