Abstract

When food inflation reached high levels in 2018 in Turkey, municipality-run discount stalls were introduced in Istanbul and Ankara to lower consumer prices. These stalls create a short food supply chain (SFSC) by eliminating intermediaries between producers and consumers. In this study, using a regression discontinuity design (RDD), we analyze the impact of municipality-run discount stalls on the price formation in each level of fresh fruits and vegetables supply chain: producers, wholesale markets, retailers and outdoor farmers markets. In line with the policy intentions, retail prices fell significantly after implementation. On the other hand, the additional retail demand appears to have increased producer and wholesale prices.

市营折扣摊位对整个食品供应链价格形成的影响

2018 年，当土耳其的食品通胀达到较高水平时，伊斯坦布尔和安卡拉推出了由市政府经营的折扣摊位，以降低消费者的价格。这些摊位消除了生产者和消费者之间的中间环节，形成了一条短食品供应链（SFSC）。在本研究中，我们采用回归不连续设计（RDD），分析了市政府经营的折扣摊位对新鲜水果和蔬菜供应链各环节（生产商、批发市场、零售商和户外农贸市场）价格形成的影响。与政策意图一致，零售价格在实施后大幅下降。另一方面，额外的零售需求似乎提高了生产商和批发商的价格。

期刊介绍： Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies. Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
