ARAS YÖNTEMİYLE AVRUPA ÜLKELERİNİN BİLİM VE TEKNOLOJİ PERFORMANSLARININ SIRALANMASI

Bilim ve teknoloji, ülkelerin sosyoekonomik gelişmelerinde önemli rol oynayan unsurlardır. Ülkelerin bilim ve teknolojide ileride olması gelişmiş olduklarının da göstergesidir. Bu çalışmada 26 Avrupa ülkesinin 2015 yılındaki bilim ve teknoloji göstergeleri analiz edilerek, performanslarının sıralaması elde edilmiştir. Analizler ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. İncelenen ülkelerin bilim ve teknoloji performanslarını değerlendirmek için Ar-Ge araştırmacıları sayısı, Ar-Ge harcaması, patent başvuru sayısı ve yüksek teknoloji ürünü ihracatı değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre Almanya, Birleşik Krallık, Hollanda ve İsveç bilim ve teknoloji performansı açısından ilk sıralarda yer alırken, Hırvatistan, Letonya ve Romanya için tam tersi durum söz konusudur.

RANKING OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PERFORMANCE OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BY ARAS (ADDITIVE RATIO ASSESSMENT) METHOD

Science and technology are the factors that play an important role in the socioeconomic development of countries. Advanced level of science and technology for countries is also a sign of their development. In this study, 26 European countries' science and technology indicators for 2015 were analysed by using ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) method and the rank of their performances was obtained. The number of R&D researchers, R&D expenditure, number of patent applications and high technology exports were used to evaluate the science and technology performances of the countries. According to the analysis results, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden are in the first place in terms of science and technology performance, whereas Croatia, Latvia and Romania have the opposite situation.
