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.
