This study sought to reveal the effects of Turkish Lira and US dollar exchange rate (EXR), money supply (M2) on agricultural commodity producers’ prices. The direction and the size of the relationship among the data was estimated using VECM Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results reveal that the causality runs from M2 to agricultural price (AP) in the short run, but not from AP to M2. In the long run the effect of EXR is more than M2. The coefficient of error correction term in the agricultural price equation is 0.0726 and is statistically significant at 1%. Referring to it, all of the system instability can be adjusted approximately in 14 months. This research shows that the exchange rate (EXR) and money supply (M2) have important long-run effects on agricultural prices (AP). In order to control agricultural prices, it is necessary to follow these macro variables closely.

Parasal Göstergelerin Tarım Fiyatları Üzerindeki Etkisi: Türkiye'den Kanıtlar

Öz

Bu çalışma, Türk Lirası ve ABD doları döviz kurunun (EXR), para arzının (M2) tarımsal emtia üreticilerinin fiyatları üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamıştır. Veriler arasındaki ilişkinin yönü ve boyutu VECM Vektör Hata Düzeltme Modeli (VECM) kullanılarak tahmin edildi. Sonuçlar, nedenselliğin kısa vadede M2'den tarım fiyatına (AP) doğru olduğunu ancak AP'den M2'ye doğru olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Uzun vadede EXR'nin etkisi M2'den daha fazladır. Tarım fiyat denkleminde hata düzeltme terimi katsayısı 0,0726 olup istatistiksel olarak %1 düzeyinde anlamlıdır. Buna göre sistem kararsızlıklarının tamamı yaklaşık 14 ayda ayarlanabilmektedir. Bu araştırma, döviz kurunun (EXR) ve para arzının (M2) tarım fiyatları (AP) üzerinde uzun vadeli önemli etkileri olduğunu göstermektedir. Tarım fiyatlarının kontrol edilebilmesi için bu makro değişkenlerin yakından takip edilmesi gerekmektedir.
