Abstract

Economic performance of countries has been evaluated on several counts from both microeconomic and macroeconomic framework in many empirical studies by using many quantitative technics such as “Multi Criteria Decision Making” methods. After all, this paper has the characteristic of first research which examines international trade performance. Today, governments as well as firms are seeking new opportunities to take a bigger share of global market through trade by managing scarce resources, trade agreements and arrangements, making innovation, increasing productivity et cetera. It is within this context that the authors aim at evaluating international trade performance of OECD countries by using TOPSIS and AHP approaches between 1999-2014 in the light of three foreign trade performance indicators, namely; Volume of Exports Per Capita, Normalized Trade Balance and Terms of Trade. Our findings indicate that Norway, Ireland and Germany are ranked among the top three countries while Turkey, USA and the Greece are the bottom three.

Özet

Ekonomilerin ekonomik performansları “Çok Kriterli Karar Verme” yöntemleri gibi çeşitli kantitatif teknikler kullanılarak hem makroekonomik hem de mikroekonomik açıdan çok sayıda ampirik çalışmada değerlendirilmiştir. Buna karşın, bu araştırma ülkelerin uluslararası ticaret performanslarını ampirik olarak karşılaştıran ilk araştırma özelliğini taşımaktadır. Günümüzde firmalar gibi hükümetler de dış ticaret vasıtasıyla kıt kaynak yönetimi, dış ticaret anlaşmaları ve düzenlemeleri, inovasyon, verimlilik artırımı vb. stratejiler izleyerek küresel piyasadan daha büyük bir pay alabilmek için yeni fırsatlar kollamaktadırlar. Bu araştırma, OECD ülkelerinin 1999-2014 yılları arasındaki uluslararası ticaret performanslarını Kişi Başı İhracat Hacmi, Normalleştirilmiş Ticaret Dengesi ve Ticaret Hadleri değişkenlerini kullanarak TOPSIS ve AHP yaklaşımları yardımıyla incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular göstermektedir ki; Norveç, İrlanda ve Almanya uluslararası ticaret performansı değerlendirmesinde ilk üç sırayı alırken Türkiye, ABD ve Yunanistan son üç sırada yer almışlardır.
