EFFECTS OF DIESEL FUEL PRICE SHOCKS ON CEREAL SECTOR IN TURKEY

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine diesel fuel price shocks on prices of corn, rice and wheat in Turkey. The study is organized with monthly data covering 2003-2016. Data was tested with vector auto regression (VAR) model. Short term effects were interpreted according to Cause-Effect and Variance Decomposition test results. According to the study findings, there is a relationship between diesel fuel shocks and cereal products. This relationship reflects on prices in positive manners for 4-month period. The effect remains constant for the following months. On the other hand, Diesel fuel price shocks can be used to explain almost 16% and 33% of expectation error variance depending on the type of cereal products. Such high level shows the importance of diesel fuel prices for the control of cereal prices. Therefore, it can be suggested to apply periodical discount rates to diesel fuel prices for especially cereal crisis periods.
