- Title
VILLAGE-CITY MARKETS IN TURKEY: A NEW APPROACH IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT.
- Authors
AKTAŞ, Erkan; YILMAZ, İlkay
- Abstract
In this paper "Village-City Markets" (VCM) as a model of rural poverty alleviation are studied. Related literature has been reviewed and comparative static analysis has been done. The VCM model aims to create a market in which rural producers and urban consumers participate. In such a market it is possible that consumers pay less and producers get more for the products they supply. The disappearance of the profit which intermediaries earn will increase consumer and producer surpluses as well as social welfare. The new equilibrium is expected to lead to further increases in demand and supply as well as social welfare.
