摘要: We compare productivity and technical efficiency of organic conventional dairy farms in the United States. address self-selection into farming by using propensity score matching explicitly test hypothesis that employ a single, homogeneous technology. Utilizing 2005 Agricultural Resource Management Survey on Dairy Costs Returns Report (ARMS) data, we reject technology find is approximately 13% less productive. However, little difference between when measured against appropriate
