Abstract

This study analyzes the differences on production cost associated with the intensification of production for a sample of dairy farms in Asturias. In doing so, we account for two methodological issues which are not usually considered in the empirical literature. On the one hand, we allow for different technologies within the sample. On the other hand, we estimate ex ante cost functions, which use "planned output" instead of the traditional ex post approach which uses the "observed output". Our results show a positive relation between intensification and efficiency. RESUMEN Este trabajo analiza las diferencias en costes de producción asociados con la intensificación productiva de explotaciones lecheras en Asturias. Para lograr este objetivo se han considerado dos aspectos que no se suelen abordar habitualmente en la literatura empírica sobre funciones de costes. Por un lado, se permite la existencia de distintas tecnologías en la muestra. Por otro lado, se estiman funciones de costes ex ante, donde se utiliza el "output planeado" en lugar del método tradicional ex post en donde se usa el "output observado". Los resultados obtenidos muestran claramente la existencia de una relación positiva entre intensificación productiva y eficiencia. Palabras clave: análisis cluster, eficiencia, función de costes ex ante, intensificación
