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.
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.
