Abstract

Abstract Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important driver of countries’ economic development. Factors such as looser environmental regulations may cause dirty FDI to flow mainly to developing countries. This is explained by the Pollution Haven Hypothesis. The paper aims to investigate whether the Pollution Haven Hypothesis is valid in Turkey using the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach for the period 1974–2017. The results show that FDI inflows and carbon emissions have asymmetric effects in both the short and long term for Turkey, supporting the Pollution Haven Hypothesis. Furthermore, there is a link between carbon emissions and trade openness, manufacturing and economic growth. Policymakers should develop the policies necessary to transfer clean technologies to Turkey by providing improvements and technical advances for a more efficient energy use.

土耳其环境下的污染避风港假说分析:一种非线性方法

外国直接投资(FDI)是各国经济发展的重要驱动力。宽松的环境法规等因素可能导致“肮脏”的外国直接投资主要流向发展中国家。这可以用“污染港假说”来解释。本文旨在利用非线性自回归分布滞后(NARDL)方法研究1974-2017年期间土耳其的污染避风港假说是否有效。研究结果表明，FDI流入和碳排放在短期和长期对土耳其都具有不对称的影响，支持了“污染天堂假说”。此外，碳排放与贸易开放、制造业和经济增长之间存在联系。决策者应该制定必要的政策，通过提供改进和技术进步来提高能源使用效率，从而向土耳其转让清洁技术。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
