FINANCIAL STABILITY IN AZERBAIJAN: THE APPLICATION OF FUZZY APPROACH
Abstract
This paper develops an aggregate financial stability index (AFSI) for Azerbaijan financial system, over the period 2005-2015. The data used includes four composite indices; consisting nineteen individual indicators in total. We use intuitionistic fuzzy to set the weights of sub-indices and define the level of financial stability in Azerbaijan. Determining the weights appropriately across different years is important. This paper concludes the fuzzy assessment of the index is more capable compared to standard approach in capturing the dynamics of financial stability during the observed period.
