Abstract :In the 21st century, with the rapid development of technology and the increase in globalization, the effects of these advancements have begun to be observed in commercial activities as well. With the advancement of information and communication technologies, internet usage has also increased. As the internet has developed, the impact of digitalization on trade has started to become evident, leading to the growth of e-commerce. Through e-commerce, companies have begun to reach customers all over the world and conduct their commercial activities via the internet. E-commerce, which operates independent of time and place, also contributes to the development of international trade. This study was conducted to determine the impact of e-commerce on international trade in the Eurozone countries, which include both developed and developing country groups. Additionally, the effects of per capita gross domestic product and the internet on international trade were also investigated. The study analyzed the data from Eurozone countries for the years 2010-2021 using the panel ARDL model. The results obtained from the analysis indicate a negative and significant relationship between exports and e-commerce in the long term, and a positive and significant relationship between exports and both per capita gross domestic product and the internet in the long term.
