Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal the cluster distribution and success ranking of OECD countries in the impact of health indicators on COVID-19 indicators. Material-Method: The universe of the research is 38 OECD countries, and the sample consists of 30 countries that have access to the variables used. Data were obtained from the official websites of OECD and World Bank. In the study, five variables that are considered to represent a country's health indicators and four variables related to COVID-19 were used. Cluster analysis and TOPSIS method were used in the analysis of the data. Results: It has been seen that the most successful cluster in terms of COVID-19 indicators is the cluster in which Australia and New Zealand are located. In terms of COVID-19 indicators, the most unsuccessful cluster was Israel and the Czech Republic. According to the TOPSIS analysis findings, it was determined that the most successful country in the average of health and COVID-19 indicators was Italy and the most unsuccessful country was Spain. Conclusion: As a result, when countries are clustered according to COVID-19 indicators and health indicators, it has been seen that countries with strong health supply power do not mean that the COVID-19 indicators will be good. On the other hand, it does not mean that COVID-19 indicators will be bad in countries with low health supply power.
