  Artificial Intelligence Applications in International Trade: A Bibliometric Analysis

  Aktepe, Cemalettin; İzgi, Fatma

  Artificial intelligence is having an increasingly significant impact on the functioning of international trade, productivity dynamics, and policy processes today. This study examined the role of artificial intelligence applications in international trade and identified research trends in the field using a bibliometric approach. The study analyzed 146 articles published between 1981 and 2025, using the keywords ‘international trade’ and ‘artificial intelligence applications’ in the Web of Science database on 4 September 2025. Subject areas and document types were considered during the search process; publication trends, collaborations between countries and institutions, the most-cited studies, and keyword networks were evaluated using VOSviewer. The findings show that academic output in the fields of artificial intelligence and international trade has increased rapidly, particularly since 2018, with 2024 exhibiting the highest publication volume. It was found that most studies were concentrated in the field of Business Economics. The analysis results clearly reveal that the United States, the United Kingdom, and China are leaders in both publication and citation counts. The original contribution of this study is that, unlike bibliometric studies commonly found in the literature that approach the relationship between ‘artificial intelligence and international trade’ from a general perspective, it addresses the subject from an international trade perspective, focusing on artificial intelligence applications. In this respect, the study provides a more targeted contribution to the field by revealing both the direction of development in the literature and the application areas in which artificial intelligence is concentrated in trade processes.

  İzgi, Fatma; Kavacık, Mustafa

  The global economy significantly relies on the air conditioning sector, which has been gaining increased importance worldwide and in Türkiye due to the impact of global warming, climate change, and the diminishing energy resources. As a multifaceted industry encompassing air conditioning, heating, installation, insulation, refrigeration and ventilation sector has been adapting to the growing demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions. This study analyzes air conditioning industry of Türkiye and its sub-product groups in terms of its ability to compete internationally, spanning from 2001 to 2021. To assess competitiveness, we employed various analytical tools, including Balassa's Revealed Comparative Advantages Index (RCA), Vollrath Indices (RXA, RMP, RTA, RC), Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantages Index (RSCA), Trade Balance Index (TBI), and Product Mapping method. Notably, there is no research that scrutinize the competitiveness of the Turkish air conditioning industry utilizing the Product Mapping. The study findings emphasize that air conditioning industry of Türkiye has competitiveness.

  Mekânsal Panel Modelleri Kullanılarak Yenilenebilir Enerji Tüketimi, Çevresel Bozulma ve Büyüme İlişkisinin İncelenmesi: Balkan Ülkelerinden Kanıtlar

  Arı, Ari; Bayramoglu, Turgut; Sayar, Ramazan

  Amaç: Bu çalışmayla karbon salınımının Balkan ülkeleri ve Türkiye'nin büyümesine etkisinin olup olmadığının, eğer varsa, bu etkinin ne yönde ve ne yoğunlukta olduğunun bulunması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada karbon emisyonları ve yenilenebilir enerji üretiminin Türkiye ve 12 Balkan ülkesinin büyümesine etkileri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada mekânsal etkileşimleri ortaya çıkarabilmek için Mekânsal Otokorelasyon Analizi yapılmıştır. Büyümeyi etkileyen faktörleri incelemek için ise Havuzlanmış En Küçük Kareler yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre Balkan ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerjinin büyüme üzerindeki olumsuz etkisinin, yenilenebilir enerjinin henüz gelişme aşamasında olması ve üretimdeki payının hala düşük olmasından kaynaklandığı söylenebilir. Yenilenebilir enerji sektöründeki yatırımların sınırlı olması yenilenebilir enerji sektörünün yavaş yayılmasına neden olmaktadır. Özgünlük: Çalışmada farklı bir yöntem olarak mekânsal panel modellerinin kullanılması ve kapsamın Türkiye ile sınırlı tutulmayıp tüm Balkan ülkelerini de kapsaması bu çalışmanın özgün değerini oluşturmaktadır.

  Socio-economic determinants of environmental degradation: Empirical evidence for the Environmental Kuznets Curve

  Gültekin, Ömer Faruk; Sayar, Ramazan; Ari, Yllmaz Onur

  The aim of the paper is to examine socio-economic determinants of environmental degradation. The empirical study employs quantile regression which enables separate predictions for different levels of the dependent variable to be made. This study investigated 62 countries from low, middle and some high income countries for 1995-2019. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is verified for the aforemented countries in analyzing the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions using quantile regression. The study also revealed that the schooling rate has a pollution-increasing effect. In addition to the reducing effects of trade openness, democracy, and economic freedom variables on environmental degradation, the opposite effect of life expectancy at birth is observed, increasing environmental degradation. In this context, this paper concluded that the EKC hypothesis is not supported. The government should encourage pollution-reducing policies in low and middle income countries.
