Selected Issues of Rank Reversal Problem in ANP Method

The ANP method is used to solve decision problems and to construct forecast models, among others, in the field of economics. It is related to the fact that the method extends a decision process with essential, in current research experiments, psychological aspects of decision making. The ANP is a generalization of the AHP and, similarly, it is at risk of occurring the rank reversal problem. In the chapter the occurrence of the problem in practical applications of the ANP, related to economic experiments and forecast model, is examined.
