The authors use GDP per capita as a key indicator of productivity and market size to see which MIKTA members are similar and therefore have the potential to establish trade and joint business projects. To do that, they conducted an ANOVA test leaving Australia and South Korea to one side due to their high per capita income. They then focused on Mexico, Indonesia, and Turkey, whose economies proved to be equivalent, and compared their key macroeconomic and social indicators, underlining their most competitive sectors, commodities, foreign trade, and trade partners. A total of 87 observations were rated from one to three to identify which country was best. Mexico scored 205 points followed by Indonesia with 164, and Turkey, with 153. Finally, they ran a second ANOVA test, taking the value of all observations in a logarithmic scale to prove that in spite of the different scores, the three countries&#8217; mean was the same. The results are relevant since the three of them present enormous business potential, which could allow them to lead MIKTA in coming decades.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen El presente artículo explora oportunidades de negocio entre México, Indonesia y Turquía, actualmente miembros del MIKTA (México, Indonesia, Korea, Turquía y Australia), a través de un análisis comparativo usando variables macroeconómi cas y socioeconómicas. Se toma el ingreso per cápita como un indicador clave de productividad y tamaño de mercado para averiguar qué eco no mías dentro del grupo son similares y por consiguiente, representan un potencial para detonar proyectos de negocio y comercio entre ellas. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una prueba ANOVA (análisis de varianza) mediante la cual se dejó fuera a Australia y Corea del Sur en virtud de su elevado ingreso per cápita. La atención se enfocó en México, Indonesia y Turquía, para los cuales el resultado del ANOVA confirmó una equivalencia. Se procedió así a comparar sus indicadores macroeconómicos y sociales clave, así como sus sectores más competitivos en el sector externo, productos emblemáticos, y respectivos socios comerciales. Se recabaron un total de 87 observaciones a las que se evaluaron en una escala del uno al tres para hallar la mejor economía. México obtuvo 205 puntos, seguido por Indonesia con 164 puntos, y Turquía 153. Al final se aplicó una segunda prueba ANOVA tomando el valor de todas las observaciones en escala logarítmica. La conclusión fue que a pesar de las diferencias en la puntuación, las medias de los tres países permanecieron equivalentes. Los resultados son relevantes, ya que muestran un enorme potencial de negocios que puede ser aprovechado en los tres países y que podría cristalizarse en las próximas décadas al irse decantando como líderes del MIKTA.]]></p></abstract>
