The purpose of this work is to study the beer market in Turkey in respect of demand analysis and with a view to assess whether the marketing and in particular pricing policies adopted by industry players in the period 1997-2002 have been efficient. Of specific interest is the near duopolistic structure of the market and the question whether pricing policies followed during the period 1997-2002 have been determinant in the observed sales volumes. The investigation focuses first on the analysis of the determinants of demand, and secondly on questioning whether pricing policies practiced in the market are optimal with respect to the objectives of the industry players. The major finding of the study is that beer prices in Turkey are below the optimal level, with respect to both revenue and profit maximizing objectives. Moreover, seasonality in beer demand can be exploited further with a high-low pricing scheme to improve the industry revenue.

Explaining beer demand: A residual modeling regression approach using statistical process control Köksalan, Mustafa Murat; Erkip, N; Moskowitz, H (Elsevier BV, 1999-01-25) We develop a medium-term model as well as a short-term model for understanding the factors affecting beer demand and for forecasting beer demand in Turkey. As part of this specific model development (as well as regression modeling in general) we propose a procedure based on statistical process control principles (SPC) and techniques to (1) detect nonrandom data points, (2) identify common missing, lurking variables that explain these anomalies, and (3) using indicator variables, integrate these lurking vari...
Demand estimation, relevant market definition and identification of market power in Turkish Beverage Industry Kalkan, Ekrem; Taymaz, Erol; Department of Economics (2010) This dissertation aims to contribute to the field of economics of competition policy by analyzing the demand structure and the market power in the Turkish beverage industry and in the cola market in particular. First, a demand system for the beverage products has been estimated by using a multi-stage linearized Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). Using the own-price elasticity of cola in a SSNIP test (Small but Significant Non-Transitory Increase in Price), it is shown that cola market consists of a distinct...
