Abstract: The aim of this study is to test the international trade of Turkey’s polluting sectors using variables such as foreign direct investments and economic growth within the scope of the pollution haven hypothesis and to present policy recommendations for other developing countries. This study analyzes the annual data for the 1985-2017 period by using the multivariate regression model. As a result of the empirical tests, it is seen that Turkey is more attractive in the polluting sectors because environmental regulations are not very strict during the examined periods, and it has become more likely to export in these sectors through foreign direct investments. According to the analysis results, it has been revealed that Turkey can be qualified as a pollution shelter for the relevant period, and various policy recommendations have been developed in this context.
