Abstract

The increase in environmental standards in developed countries and the efforts of developing countries to attract foreign direct investments (FDI) offer both a theoretical and an empirical research area. In practice, this situation, which can be seen as a shift of investments to countries with looser policies in order to avoid the costs of environmental regulations, is called the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). In this study, the existence of the mentioned hypothesis for Türkiye's waste and energy sector is investigated. In order to test the hypothesis, linear time series analysis methods are used in the study. When the findings are examined, it is observed that the hypothesis is valid in both sectors.

Abstract

Gelişmiş ülkelerde çevre standartlarının artması ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerin doğrudan yabancı yatırımları (FDI) çekme çabaları hem teorik hem de ampirik bir araştırma alanı sunmaktadır. Uygulamada, çevresel düzenlemelerin maliyetlerinden kaçınmak için yatırımların daha gevşek politikalara sahip ülkelere kayması olarak görülebilecek bu durum, kirlilik cenneti hipotezi (PHH) olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada söz konusu hipotezin Türkiye atık ve enerji sektörü için varlığı araştırılmaktadır. Çalışmada hipotezi test etmek için doğrusal zaman serileri analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular incelendiğinde hipotezin her iki sektörde de geçerli olduğu görülmektedir.
