쇠고기 도체특성별 도매가격 결정요인 분석 연구

초록

This study analyzed the effects of beef carcass quality characteristics and the structural and temporal characteristics of the market on wholesale beef prices. A hedonic pricing model was employed using auction data from 134,593 beef carcasses. The carcass quality characteristics considered were gender, carcass weight, and grade, while the market structural characteristics included shipping region and slaughterhouse type. Temporal characteristics such as slaughter month, slaughter day, and holidays were also taken into account. The analysis revealed that higher meat quality and yield grades resulted in higher wholesale prices. Additionally, a 1 kg increase in carcass weight led to a 0.05% increase in wholesale prices. Among slaughterhouses, those in Gimhae Chukgong, Sinheung Industry, Hyupshin Food, and Nonghyup Eumseong had higher wholesale prices. Regarding shipping regions, Gyeonggi-do, Jeollanam-do, and Jeollabuk-do recorded higher prices. Wholesale prices were higher in May and August to September, and prices from Monday to Wednesday were also relatively high. The findings of this study provide valuable information for beef cattle farmers in selecting advantageous slaughterhouses and shipping times to maximize revenue. Furthermore, the results can serve as a useful basis for formulating beef price stabilization policies.
