Structural Change in Turkey’s Foreign Trade: 1990-2014 Period

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to measure the financial performance in Turkish banking sector and to combine the data mining with the multi-criteria decision-making methods. For this purpose, a text-mining process is applied to measure the pairwise comparison of the criteria and the results are used in the integrated models. DEMATEL-GRA and DEMATEL-MOORA are defined as two integrated models. The results show that integrated models give the coherent outcomes and the text-mining process could be adapted properly in the multi-criteria decision-making methods. It is also concluded that foreign banks have better performance in comparison with state and private banks.
