英文文献摘要：
Studies of dairy farm structure have neglected issues of vertical organization of the farm. In this study we model and measure the potential for dairy farms to reduce costs of production through vertical integration. We estimate a multi-stage, multi-output cost function to assess vertical economies of scope in organic and conventional dairy farms. We model the cost of producing grains and forages, which are then used as inputs in the production of milk. We find negligible vertical economies of scope for conventional dairy farms. In contrast, we find significant vertical economies of scope in organic dairy production, suggesting that there is an economic incentive for vertical integration into feed production. The large vertical economies of scope for organic dairy farms are consistent with higher costs of obtaining organic feed through market transactions associated with an underdeveloped market for organic feeds.
对奶牛场结构的研究忽视了奶牛场垂直组织的问题。在本研究中，我们对奶牛场通过垂直整合降低生产成本的潜力进行建模和测量。我们估计了一个多阶段、多产出成本函数，以评估有机和传统奶牛场的垂直范围经济。我们对生产谷物和牧草的成本建模，然后将其作为生产牛奶的投入。我们发现传统奶牛场的垂直范围经济可以忽略不计。相比之下，我们发现有机乳制品生产中存在显著的纵向范围经济，这表明在饲料生产中存在纵向整合的经济激励。有机奶牛场的垂直经济规模与有机饲料市场不发达，通过市场交易获得有机饲料的较高成本是一致的。
