채소가격 변동의 요인 분석

The price fluctuation of vegetables is generally greater than other agricultural products and it constrains consumers' planned consumption and farmers' stable income. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the factors that affect vegetable price fluctuations and formulate effective policies to stabilize prices. In order to examine the factors affecting the fluctuation of vegetable prices, this paper used a structural model constructed by demand, supply, import and export functions to decompose price variance. We select cabbage, radish, dried red pepper, garlic and onion as research objects. The results indicate that production has a relatively large impact on price fluctuations while demand, imports and exports play small roles except for dried red pepper and onion. Our results provide policy implications for formulating vegetable price stabilization strategies.
