For that purpose we use consumer price, world price, and domestic producer price tariff trade costs data for 12 provinces of 15 data points 1371-85 for poultry and for 10 provinces of 19 data points 1369-87 for veal. The pass-through panel data model estimation results show that increasing the poultry tariff rate from 4% to 90%, consumption price of this product with increase 11.39% and with increasing the beef tariff rate from 4% to 90%, consumption price of this product with increase 27.37%.
