Makroekonomik ve Sigortacılık Performanslarının Karşılaştırmalı Analizi: OECD Ülkeleri Üzerine SPC–SWARA Temelli ARLON Modeliyle Çok Kriterli Bir Yaklaşım

This study conducts a comparative analysis of the economic and insurance sector performances of OECD member countries for the period 2011–2021 using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. The criteria weights were determined through a hybrid approach: the SPC method was employed for objective weighting based on statistical data, while the SWARA method was utilized for subjective weighting based on expert opinions. The combined weights were then used in the ARLON method to rank countries' performances. The findings reveal that economic and insurance sector performances are not always linearly correlated, and country-specific structural and policy factors play a significant role in shaping this relationship. While Latvia, Costa Rica, and Slovenia ranked highest in insurance performance, Switzerland, Israel, and Denmark led in economic performance. By applying the rarely used SWARA-SPC-based ARLON model, this study offers a methodological contribution and provides policymakers with an analytical framework for multidimensional performance assessment
