The Meta Pricing Efficiency of Producer Cooperatives Under Hedonic Product Attributes: The Case of German Wine

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High internal coordination costs may put cooperatives at a disadvantage in the production and marketing of agri‐food products with hedonic quality attributes. The efficiency of cooperatives and non‐cooperatives is therefore compared with respect to their ability to place wines on the market at prices that reflect their measurable quality ...

Buyer‐Optimal Platform Design

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A platform matches a unit mass of sellers, each owning a single product of heterogeneous quality, to a unit mass of buyers with differing valuations for unit‐quality. After matching, sellers make take‐it‐or‐leave‐it price‐offers to buyers. Initially, valuations of buyers are only known to them and the platform, but sellers make inferences from

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.
