Abstract

The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether the cost of processing cotton using high‐speed roller gins is comparable to saw gins. The results from a “true” random effect model estimated using proprietary data voluntarily shared by cotton gins operating in Arizona and California showed that the average cost inefficiency for the sample gins analyzed in this study was 13.5%. Moreover, the cost of ginning using conventional roller gins and high‐speed roller gins was 24.42% and 14.18% higher than saw gins, respectively, and roller ginning costs were 10% lower for high‐speed roller gins than conventional roller gins.

美国使用锯式、传统罗拉式和高速罗拉式轧棉机轧棉的相对成本

本研究的主要目的是调查使用高速轧辊轧花机加工棉花的成本是否与锯齿轧花机相当。利用亚利桑那州和加利福尼亚州轧花厂自愿分享的专有数据估算的 "真实 "随机效应模型的结果显示，本研究分析的样本轧花厂的平均成本效率为 13.5%。此外，使用传统轧辊轧棉机和高速轧辊轧棉机的轧棉成本分别比锯齿轧棉机高 24.42% 和 14.18%，而高速轧辊轧棉机的轧棉成本比传统轧辊轧棉机低 10%。[经济学引文：D24；O14；Q16]。

期刊介绍： Agribusiness: An International Journal publishes research that improves our understanding of how food systems work, how they are evolving, and how public and/or private actions affect the performance of the global agro-industrial complex. The journal focuses on the application of economic analysis to the organization and performance of firms and markets in industrial food systems. Subject matter areas include supply and demand analysis, industrial organization analysis, price and trade analysis, marketing, finance, and public policy analysis. International, cross-country comparative, and within-country studies are welcome. To facilitate research the journal’s Forum section, on an intermittent basis, offers commentary and reports on business policy issues.
