Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 12Asymmetry in Farm-Retail Price Transmission in the Turkish Fluid Milk Market(Bononia Univ Press, 2014) Bor, Ozgur; Smihan, Mustafa; Bayaner, Ahmet; EconomicsThis study investigates the price asymmetry in farm-retail price transmission in the Turkish fluid milk market. An asymmetric error correction model is applied on the monthly price data, and the results suggest that there is a positive price asymmetry in the farm-retail price transmission in the Turkish milk market. That is, the retail prices tend to adjust more quickly to the input price increases than to their decreases which yield welfare losses to the consumers. In addition, cointegration results imply that there is a significant market power in the Turkish fluid milk market. Therefore, the results of this paper support the view that retailers (as well as processors) can exercise significant market power as highlighted by asymmetric price responses in the Turkish milk market.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6How Responsive Is the Crop Yield To Producer Prices? a Panel Data Approach for the Case of Turkey(Edizioni dedalo S R L, 2009) Bor, Ozgur; Bayaner, Ahmet; EconomicsThe food crisis in 2008 clearly shows the importance of productivity in agriculture. This topic has recently become even more important since the countries are obliged to decrease their agricultural protection due to WTO rules which have an important effect on crop prices. As the global land area for agricultural production remains fixed, it is important to investigate how responsive productivity is to price changes. In this study, price responsiveness of yield is investigated by using balanced panel data from 15 provinces in Turkey. The results from a fixed effects model that controls for unobserved heterogeneity indicate that the relative prices of wheat to barley and wheat to fertilizer are important factors to determine productivity. The coefficients for the price of other crops as well as price of inputs, and average April and May rainfall are also found to be significant determinants of productivity.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6The Effects of Energy-Intensive Meat Production on Co2 Emissions: Evidence From Extended Environmental Kuznets Framework(Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Bor, Ozgur; Omay, Tolga; Iren, Perihan; Aktan, CeydaThis study documents the positive relationship between meat production and CO2 emissions by utilizing the environmental Kuznets framework. Relationships between energy consumption, economic growth, meat production, and the levels of CO2 are tested using 6 different variables (CO2 emissions, GDP, energy consumption, forest area, total meat, and total livestock). Data for the study is related to the G7 countries and covers the period between 1961 and 2016. The analysis of the data is then conducted using a panel threshold model. Moreover, the extended EKC model does not only consider the income as the state variable but also examines the nonlinear structure inherited in other explanatory variables as a state variable. In this way, we have seen the nonlinear effects of other variables' evolution over time on carbon emission. The overall results indicate that the production of meat significantly increases CO2 emissions.
