Gelişmekte Olan Ülkelerin Makro Performanslarının AHP ve TOPSIS Yöntemleri ile Karşılaştırılması

Bu çalışmada gelişmekte olan ülkelerin (Türkiye, Polonya, Meksika, Şili, Malezya, Macaristan, Endonezya, Çin, Arjantin ve Brezilya) 2003-2013 yılları arasındaki makroekonomik performanslarının karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Performans ölçümünde, ekonomik büyüme, enflasyon oranı, işsizlik oranı ve cari işlemler dengesi/GSYİH kriterleri esas alınmıştır. Çalışmada öncelikle AHP yöntemi kullanılarak ağırlığı en fazla olan kriter belirlenmiş, daha sonra TOPSİS yöntemi uygulanarak gelişmekte olan ülkelerin performansları sıralanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda çalışmada yer alan ülkeler arasında en yüksek performans gösteren ülkelerin Malezya ve Çin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Türkiye ise 2003 yılında 5. sırada yer alırken, 2013 yılı itibariyle 10 ülke arasında en son sırada yer almıştır.

Comparison of Developing Countries’ Macro Performances with AHP and TOPSIS Methods

Study is aimed to compare the macroeconomic performances of developing countries (Turkey, Poland, Mexico, Chile, Malaysia, Hungary, Indonesia, China, Argentina and Brazil) for the period 2003-2013. In performance measurement, economic growth, inflation rate, unemployment rate and the current account balance/GDP indicators are used. AHP is used for determination the weight of criteria. Then, TOPSIS method is used for ranking the performances of developing countries. Findings show that Malaysia and the China have the best performed economies and generally they ranked either 1st or 2nd. While Turkey is ranked 5th in 2003, by year 2013 Turkey is at the last rank.
