Comparison of Macroeconomic Performances of Sub-Saharan African Countries with TOPSIS Method

Öz

This paper aims to compare macroeconomic performances of eight Sub-Saharan African countries with the data of the year 2016 by using TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference Similarity to Ideal Solution) method. For this purpose, four macroeconomic indicators including GDP growth rate, inflation rate, unemployment rate and current account balance/GDP are used to evaluate the performances of the countries. According to the results of the study, Cote d’Ivoire and Tanzania show the best macroeconomic performances while South Sudan shows the lowest macroeconomic performance.

This paper is the first one which evaluates macroeconomic performances of Sub-Saharan Africa using one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. In this regard, the paper has some policy recommendations for Sub-Saharan African countries.
