Measuring Producers' Advantage from Classified Pricing of Milk
提出一种评估牛奶分类定价对生产者有利程度的方法，并应用于1960-79年数据，发现价格更接近消费者最优而非生产者最优，表明监管机构近年更重视消费者意见。
Abstract A method of assessing the degree to which classified pricing of milk has favored milk producers over time is outlined, and results of an application of this method to the 1960–79 period are presented. It is found that prices for the different use classes of milk have, over this period, moved closer to consumer “optimal” prices rather than to producer “optimal” prices. Apparently the regulatory authorities in recent years have recognized less the need for farm income enhancement than the voice of consumer representatives.
