A Neutrosophic SuperHyperTopological Model to Measure International Export Trade Competitiveness under Uncertainty

Abstract

Export competitiveness is one of the key measures of a country's strength in 
international trade. However, traditional models often fail to handle uncertainty, 
inconsistency, and layered complexities in export data. This paper introduces a new 
model that uses Neutrosophic SuperHyperTopology to measure a country’s export 
competitiveness in a more realistic way. Unlike classical models, this approach allows 
each trade componentsuch as policies, market access, logistics, and product value to be 
analyzed not only in terms of truth but also in degrees of indeterminacy and contradiction. 
The model creates a Neutrosophic Export Competitiveness Index (NECI) using advanced 
mathematical tools from neutrosophic set theory. It reflects not just how competitive a 
country is, but how uncertain, conflicting, or unstable that competitiveness may be. This 
framework brings a multi-level, multi-valued, and flexible way to study international 
trade dynamics under complex global conditions.
