The objective of this
study is to examine age, cohort and year effects on food away from home (FAFH)
expenditure of Turkish households, employing double
hurdle approach for the period of 2002-2005. Results show that both the
decision to participate in FAFH market and the actual FAFH expenditure of
Turkish households change according to cohort, age and time. It is determined
that the households with younger household heads have higher probability to
participate in the FAFH market than the households with older household heads. Cohort
effects for younger generations, on the other hand, are positive and
significant in FAFH market participation while they have significant but negative
effect on FAFH expenditures. Cohort effects for probability of market
participation of FAFH for older generations are found to be positive but
statistically insignificant. The findings also indicate that year effects play
a positive role in FAFH market participation and FAFH expenditures.

Türkiye’de Ev Dışı Gıda Tüketiminde Kuşak Etkisi: Double Hurdle Yaklaşımı

Öz

Bu çalışmada 2002-2005
dönemi için Türkiye’de hanehalkı ev dışı gıda tüketimi üzerinde yaş, kuşak ve
yıl etkileri ayrıştırılarak Double Hurdle modeli ile incelenmiştir. Türkiye’de
hanehalkı ev dışı gıda tüketimi için hem pazara katılım kararının ve hem de ev
dışı gıda harcama kararının yaş, kuşak ve yıla bağlı olarak değiştiği
saptanmıştır. Türkiye’de hanehalkı reisinin genç olduğu hanelerin, hanehalkı reisinin
yaşlı olduğu hanelere göre ev dışı gıda tüketimi için piyasaya katılım
olasılıklarının daha yüksek olduğunu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kuşak
etkisi ev dışı gıda tüketimi için pazara katılım olasılığı üzerinde genç
kuşaklar için istatistiki olarak anlamlı ve pozitif etkili, ev dışı gıda
harcaması eşitliğinde ise istatistiki olarak anlamlı
olmakla birlikte negatif etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Yaşlı kuşaklar için
ev dışı gıda tüketimine katılım olasılığı pozitif işaretli olmakla birlikte
istatistiki olarak anlamsız bulunmuştur. Son olarak, yıllara bağlı olarak Türkiye’de
hanehalkı ev dışı gıda tüketim piyasasına katılım ve tüketim düzeyi kararları pozitif
yönde etkilenmektedir.
