Saghaian, Sayed and Ozertan, Gokhan and Spaulding, Aslihan (2008): The Impacts of Atlantic Bonito Rush and the Avian Influenza on Meat Products in Turkey.

Abstract

The Atlantic bonito rush experienced in Turkey in the Fall of 2005 coincides with the avian influenza food scare that happened exactly at the same time-period in the country. In this research using time-series techniques, we investigate how the food scare and the excess fish caught jointly influence the demand for meat products in Turkey.
