Abstract

This paper examines Türkiye's three-pillar energy-poverty strategy (2019–2023), focusing on the Maximum Settlement Price (AUF), a universal market-wide tariff intervention functionally similar to an inframarginal cap. Using high-frequency EPİAŞ prices and DisCo-level indicators (disconnections, consumption), the analysis shows that AUF acts as an implicit consumer subsidy and, together with the 240-kWh tier, improves affordability for low-consumption users, especially in Eastern and Southeastern regions. Reframing a mechanism often criticized for lowering producer revenues, the study documents its distributional footprint on vulnerable households. By linking market design to energy-poverty outcomes, it offers a cost-effective, replicable template for behavior-informed targeting under crisis conditions.

隐性补贴与行为定向：来自 rkiye三支柱能源贫困战略的启示（2019-2023年）

本文研究了 rkiye的三支柱能源贫困战略（2019-2023），重点关注最高结算价格（AUF），这是一种普遍的市场范围内的关税干预，功能类似于超边际上限。使用高频EPİAŞ价格和迪斯科水平指标（断网、消费），分析表明，AUF作为一种隐性消费者补贴，与240千瓦时的电价层一起，提高了低消费用户的负担能力。特别是在东部和东南部地区。该研究重新构建了一种经常因降低生产者收入而受到批评的机制，记录了其对弱势家庭的分配足迹。通过将市场设计与能源贫困结果联系起来，它为危机条件下的行为知情定向提供了一个具有成本效益、可复制的模板。
