Abstract
Rekabet Kurumu (RK), 2009 yılında 27 etlik piliç üreticisini arzı kısma ve fiyatları kontrol
etme üzerinde anlaşarak kartel oluşturmaları sebebiyle cezalandırmıştır. RK, ceza kararını
belli başlı etlik piliç üreticilerinin aralarında yapmış oldukları görüşme kayıtlarına ve
ham fiyat verilerine istinaden vermiş olup herhangi bir istatistiksel ya da ekonometrik
analizden faydalanmamıştır. Bu araştırmada, zaman serisi yöntemleri kullanılarak etlik
piliç sektörü arz zincirinde piyasa gücü hem arz hem de talep açılarından test edilmiştir.
Sonuçlar, etlik piliç arz zincirindeki perakende fiyat davranışlarının oligopolistik piyasa
yapısı ile tutarlı olduğunu göstermektedir.
In 2009, the Competition Authority (CA) in Turkey penalized 27 broiler chicken producers for agreeing to restrict supply and controlling prices, hence forming a cartel. The CA based its punishment decision on communication records among major broiler chicken producers, using raw price series and without any statistical or econometric analysis. In this research, time-series methods are employed to test directly for the presence of market power along the supply 'chain in the poultry sector for both demand and supply sides. The findings show that the retail price behavior in the poultry supply chain in Turkey is consistent with an oligopolistic market structure.
