Abstract

Today, the fight against COVID-19 is the most important agenda topic of all countries. Countries are trying to combat COVID-19 by implementing policies consisting of quarantine, testing and vaccination practices and medical treatment service. Considering the current test and vaccine production capacity with the world population, the effective use of these resources is of great importance in terms of combating the pandemic. For this reason, the relative efficiency of 41 OECD and EU member countries in the fight against the pandemic is analyzed with the help of Data Envelopment Analysis. According to the results of the analysis; Only 8 of 41 countries have relative technical effectiveness in combating the pandemic. The country with the lowest relative technical efficiency value is Chile, while the country with relatively low technical efficiency but closest to the efficiency limit is Ireland. It is seen that countries that are among the developed and richest countries such as the USA and Canada are among the countries with the worst performance in the fight against the pandemic. Turkey, on the other hand, is among the countries that can not achieve technical efficiency.

Abstract

Günümüzde Covid-19 ile mücadele tüm ülkelerin en önemli gündem konusudur. Ülkeler karantina, test ve aşı uygulamaları ile tıbbi tedavi hizmetinden oluşan politikalar uygulayarak Covid-19 ile mücadele etmeye çalışmaktadır. Dünya nüfusu ile birlikte mevcut test ve aşı üretim kapasitesi göz önünde bulundurulduğunda bu kaynakların etkin kullanımı pandemi ile mücadele açısından büyük öneme sahip olmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmada Türkiye’nin de içerisinde yer aldığı 41 OECD ve AB üye ülkesinin pandemi ile mücadele sürecindeki göreli etkinliği Veri Zarflama Analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmektedir. Yapılan analiz sonucuna göre; ülkeler ortalama 0,675 teknik etkinlik değeri ile etkinlik sınırından uzaktır. 41 ülkeden sadece 8’i pandemi ile mücadelede göreli teknik etkinliğe sahiptir. Görece teknik etkinlik değeri en düşük olan ülke Şili iken, görece teknik etkin olmayan ancak etkinlik sınırına en yakın olan ülke İrlanda olmaktadır. ABD ve Kanada gibi gelişmiş ve zengin ülkelerin pandemi ile mücadelede düşük performans sergilediği görülmektedir. Türkiye de teknik etkinliği yakalayamayan ülkeler arasında yer almaktadır. Türkiye’nin teknik etkinlik sınırını yakalayabilmesi için referans kümesinde yer alan ülkeleri dikkate alarak, vaka ve test sayısını %90 oranında azaltırken, iyileşen sayısını %758 oranında artırması gerekmektedir.
