Özet

The objective of this study is to assess the export performance of emerging markets over the period 2018-2022, utilising multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques. In this study, the CRITIC method was employed to assign weights to the criteria, and the TOPSIS and COPRAS methods were utilized to rank the emerging markets according to their export performance. The most significant criterion for the CRITIC method is the export growth rate. The world export share was identified as the export performance indicator with the lowest criterion weight. According to the TOPSIS and COPRAS methods, China demonstrated the highest export performance across all years. When considering the period average according to both methods, Türkiye was ranked 11th in the export performance ranking. Chile, Colombia, Peru, and India exhibited the lowest export performance according to the average of the period.
