摘要

We compare the economic and technological measures of contractee and independent hog farms using data from the 2020 USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey. We use a stochastic production frontier model to estimate technical efficiency, returns to scale of farms, and economic performance of both production systems by state and regions. After controlling for selectivity bias, we find that contracting pushes out the productivity frontier of U.S. hog farms by approximately 23%. Nonetheless, we find that independent hog farms in Iowa and Minnesota are still competitive with their contracting peers in terms of overall technical efficiency and household returns on assets.

中文摘要

我们利用2020年美国农业部农业资源管理调查数据,比较了代养制与独立生猪养殖场的经济和技术指标。我们采用随机生产前沿模型,按州和区域估算两种生产系统的技术效率、规模报酬和经济绩效。在控制选择性偏差后,我们发现代养制使美国生猪养殖场的生产力前沿向外推移约23%。尽管如此,我们发现艾奥瓦州和明尼苏达州的独立生猪养殖场在总体技术效率和家庭资产回报率方面仍可与代养制同行竞争。
