Decomposition of Milk Supply Response into Technology and Price‐Induced Effects
利用总量生产函数和利润函数，将牛奶供给反应分解为技术效应和价格效应，分析华盛顿州乳业效率对价格支持政策的影响，发现技术效应压倒了价格信号，导致供给不减反增。
Abstract An economically relevant aggregate production function and an aggregate profit function are used to decompose milk supply response into technology and price effects. Decomposing milk supply response in this way provides insights into dairy industry efficiency and its impact on the effectiveness of price support programs as well as the extent to which aggregate milk production will expand despite prices motivating supply curtailment. An empirical analysis of supply response decomposition for the state of Washington is presented. Expected market price effects were obtained but were overwhelmed by technology effects resulting in milk output expansion when price signals motivated supply reduction.
