Abstract
Many researchers in the economic literature have accepted capital as one of the elements of economic development. Capital is generally classified into two groups: human capital and physical capital. The concept of human capital includes efforts to provide qualifications to the workforce. Education is considered to be one of the most important factors that provide qualifications for the workforce. The most important wealth of universities is their human resources, which are not only limited to technological infrastructure and devices, but also provide a high level of interaction in education, research and social contributions. In addition, universities supply the workforce with the requisite skills of the day and facilitate the flow of information to industries utilizing technical advancements through the human resources they cultivate. Thus, the efficiency and effectiveness of universities become important for economic development. In this context, in the study, universities in the Thrace Region are compared in terms of effectiveness. Comparisons were made using data between 2019 and 2021 as input to the entropy weighted TOPSIS method, which is one of the decision-making methods. According to the findings of the entropy method, it was found that the most important criterion was the rate of expenditure on R&D.
