KİRLİLİK YARATAN SEKTÖRLERİN TİCARETİ VE ÇEVRE: GELİŞMİŞ VE GELİŞMEKTE OLAN ÜLKELER KARŞILAŞTIRMASI

Öz

Sanayi Devrimi’nden bu yana; gelişmiş ülkelerin küresel çevre kirliliğindeki payının yüksek olduğu bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte; çevre koruma unsurlarının önemi ortaya çıktıktan sonra, gelişmiş ülkeler dış ticaret ve yatırım yoluyla kirli endüstrilerini gelişmekte olan ülkelere taşıma eğilimine girmişlerdir. Dolayısıyla; günümüzde hızla sanayileşen gelişmekte olan ülkelerin kirlilikteki payı önemli ölçüde artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kirlilik Sığınağı Hipotezi ve Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi ÇKE birlikte incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda ÇKE’ye göre; kişi başına gelir ile CO2 emisyonu arasındaki ilişki gelişmiş ülkelerde ters-U; gelişmekte olan ülkelerde ise U şeklinde çıkmıştır. Ayrıca gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, kirlilik yaratan sektörlerin ihracattaki payı arttıkça CO2 salımının arttığı da bulgular arasındadır.

TRADE BETWEEN POLLUTION-CREATING SECTORS AND ENVIRONMENT: A COMPARISON OF DEVELOPED AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Öz

It has-been a very well known fact that developing countries have had a higher share in creating environmental pollution since the Industrial Revolution. Besides this fact, in the aftermath of emergence of environmental protection necessities, developed countries have tended to carry their pollution creating industries to the developing world by means of foreign trade and investment. As a result of this, rapidly industrializing developing counties have had a more substantial share in the creation of pollution. This work analyzes both the Pollution Haven Hypothesis and Environmental Kuznets Curve EKC thesis at the same time. The study indicates that according to the EKC, there exists an inverse U relationship between CO2 emissions and per capita income in the developed countries while the pattern of the relationship takes a U shape for the developing countries. In the meantime the study also finds out that as the sectors causing more pollution have an increasing share in exports in developing countries, the CO2 emissions do increase too
