Effectiveness of Regulation: An Investigation of the Turkish Natural Gas Distribution Market

Okan YARDIMCI [1] and Mehmet Baha KARAN [2]

Abstract

In this chapter, the effectiveness of regulation in the Turkish natural gas distribution sector is investigated by examining EMRA’s implementations and the performances of the companies. The analyses were taken into account mainly in the context of the effectiveness of regulation rather than in drawing conclusions with respect to economic paradigms, like market failure.  The important regulations with regard to the Turkish natural gas distribution sector were analyzed within the scope of the differences between the various planned and recognized situations. Thus, it was understood that some of the regulations did not produce effective results. Particularly the comparison between private and state-owned companies concerning their performances and R&D expenditures revealed the alienation experienced from the expected benefits of liberalization. The regulations to encourage sector development and cost reduction through R&Ds have not been properly implemented. The obtained results are considered as partially regulatory failure.

Keywords

Kapasite Piyasası Nedir / Ne Değildir?

Dr. Okan YARDIMCI

Kasım 2017

Türkiye elektrik piyasasında, sadece enerjiden oluşan piyasa (energy-only market) modeli terk ediliyor. Sadece enerjiden oluşan piyasa modelinde, üretim kapasitesinin emre amade durma maliyeti, elektrik fiyatının içerisinde yer almaktadır. Önümüzdeki dönemde ülkemiz elektrik piyasasına, kapasite mekanizması adında karmaşık bir yapı entegre edilecek. Bu yazıda kapasite mekanizmasını kısaca inceleyeceğiz.

Çapa Etkisi Testi, Petrol Kontratları:

WTI Petrol’ün Ocak Ayı Kontratı Sizce Dün Ne Kadar Fiyattan İşlem Gördü?

(Anchoring Effect Experiment: Oil Contracts)

Çapa etkisi (ing: anchoring effect), insan beyninin ilk duyduğu ya da gördüğü rakama takılması (çapa atması) dolayısıyla oluşan önyargı yanılması (ing: bias) şeklinde tanımlanabilir. Davranışsal finans alanında çalışanlar bu yanılgıya aşinadırlar. Mağazalarda ya da reklam panolarında bu tarz çapalarla sıklıkla karşılaşırız. Fiyatı 1000 TL’den 400 TL’ye düşen ceket, fiyatı 450 TL’den 400 TL’ye düşen aynı cekete nazaran daha çok ilgimizi çekebilir. Bu yanılgıya asla düşmem demeyin, çünkü hayatımızda karşımıza çıkan bu çapalardan farkında olmadan etkilenebiliyoruz.

Geçtiğimiz günlerde iki farklı sınıfta iki soruyla çapa etkisi testi yaptık:
