Türkiye de Kuraklık Riskine Karşı Index Tabanlı Tarım Sigortaları Geliştirilmesi

2012-12-31
c) Önerilen konunun güncel ve evrensel olarak ulaşmış noktada üreteceği ek bilgi ve/veya teknoloji: In Turkey agriculture insurance was introduced as crop insurance only against hail risk, but did not brought a remarkable success in the sector. After the legalization of the law in agricultural insurance in 2005, TARSIM-Agricultural insurance pool enterprises has been established. Agricultural insurance which is on the volunteer basis is subsidized by the Government. A system of standardized premium determined by TARSIM and reinsured by Munich Re, TARSIM provides insurance coverage for such catastrophe risks which can not be coped by a single insurance company. The law no.5363, article 17 forbids ad- hoc payments to farmers without agricultural insurance for the risks that can be insured which reduces the economic burden of agricultural losses on government. Even though the trial on implementing index insurance did not yield successful results during 2002 and 2003, for the crops extending spatially over large geographic region, area yield-index insurance needs to be taken into account. For this reason index based insurance is not taken into account as a plausible methodology to optimize the risks of each parties: producers, Government and insurance companies. The outcomes of this project will give the intermediate steps on setting strategies on implementing index based insurance for specific products in Turkey under drought and flood risks.

Ranking of pesticides according to leaching potentials to groundwater for the selected river basins in Turkey – index-based approach
Akay, Ayşe Ece; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2016)
Recently, identification of pollutant parameters in river basins of Turkey has been greatly concerned by the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs (MoFWA).In this respect, the intention of MoFWA is to identify the pollutants which would be included in monitoring programs as required by the regulations toward the protection of water sources, both surface and groundwaters. Among these identified pollutants, various pesticides appeared as important group of pollutants to be monitored. Given the fact that pest...
Türkiye’de yaygın olarak kullanılan pestisitlerin kirlilik potansiyellerine göre sınıflanması
Ünlü, Kahraman; Sözüdoğru, Sonay (1997-01-01)
Uncontrolled use of agricultural chemicals in intensive agricultural areas of Turkey causes serious soil, surface- and ground-water pollution. Controlled use of agricultural chemicals is of importance for preventing further pollution of these natural resources. The objectives of this paper are to present a screening model that can be used to determine the scientific criteria serving as basis of controlled pesticide use, to classify pesticides according to their pollution potential and, based on this classif...
A Translog cost function analysis of Turkish agriculture
Sel, Güney; Güzel, Alper; Department of Economics (2002)
This work examines the costs occurred in the agricultural production process in Turkey employing agricultural data from 1970 to 1999. A Translog specification will be used to represent the cost pattern of the Turkish Agricultural Production. The Translog Cost Function is the most frequently used flexible function in empirical work, which is well known for its flexible functional form in terms of the local second-order approximation to any arbitrary functional form. The model that is considered in this study...
The liberalization of downstream oil industry in Turkey
Oğuz, Ender; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Economics (2006)
This study attempts to analyze the deregulation process of downstream oil industry in Turkey and to develop policies concerning Turkish downstream oil industry. Privatization of Petrol Ofisi and TÜPRAŞ and the enactment of the Petroleum Market Law in 2003 were the main implementations of radical deregulation process of downstream oil industry. The main goal of deregulation process has been to create a competitive market. However, establishment of a competitive downstream oil industry has not been achieved, ...
Political Economy of Renewal of Heritage Places in Turkey

The construction industry has often been used to boost the economy in time of crises and constitutes one of the most important profit making sector in Turkey. As a result of the current economic growth model which focuses on construction activities, urban spaces have been subjected to uncontrollable pressure in Turkey. Hence, developing new construction land and increasing construction rights in existing settlement areas have become common among local and central authorities in the last years. As priceless ...
