Özet

This study examines the impact of industrial artificial intelligence on green export competitiveness, utilizing annual panel data for 60 countries spanning the period 2000-2019. Baseline fixed-effects estimates confirm a positive and statistically significant effect of industrial artificial intelligence adoption on green export competitiveness. The results remain robust after addressing potential endogeneity through system-GMM estimation and accounting for distributional heterogeneity via panel quantile regressions. Overall, the findings suggest that advancements in industrial artificial intelligence can play a promising role in strengthening countries' green export competitiveness by enhancing technological efficiency and sustainability-oriented innovation.
