Özet:

The profits they will obtain from foreign trade and a high competitive industrial structure are of great importance in the country’s increased prosperity levels. In recent years, trade flows, especially in competitive industries, towards product differentiation have begun to come to the forefront. This is what we have seen as an important concept of "Industrial Trade" at this point. Industrial intra-trade (IT) is that the products of the same industry are subject to both export and import. The aim of this study is to analyze the EIT between Turkey and the European Union (EU) countries for the iron-steel sector. In the study, the Grubel-Lloyd (G-L) index was used to determine the level of EIT between Turkey and the EU countries for the period 2009-2019. The study found that the trade structure in the iron-steel sector between Turkey and the EU countries is in the form of the EIT. The countries where the EIT is high can be ranked in the form of the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Romania and Denmark. These countries were found to have an average of over 0.50 EIT levels in the period 2009-2019. Furthermore, their volume of foreign trade with Turkey is high in the iron steel sector for Italy, Spain and Germany based on the EIT levels have been studied. The review found that in many under-sectors of iron and steel, especially Italy and Germany, the EIT-based trade structure continued.
