Abstract

This study develops measures of costs, productivity, and returns in the marketing systems for eggs and poultry during 1955-74, using USDA's market basket price spreads series as a base. It also examines the changes in costs and productivity for individual marketing functions and the substitution between various inputs, based on a large number of previous studies.
