Abstract

This study introduces a sophisticated model for evaluating bargaining power within the agricultural production service market, using data from China's Land Economy Survey and the bilateral stochastic frontier model. The findings indicate: (1) Suppliers elevate prices by 26.77% above the benchmark, while demanders reduce them by 24.36%, culminating in a market price that surpasses the benchmark. (2) Labor outflow and aging populations drive suppliers to further increase market prices. (3) Variations in individual characteristics underpin the disparity in bargaining power between suppliers and demanders. The study underscores the disadvantaged and heterogeneous nature of farmers (demanders), advocating for a recalibration of subsidy distribution to benefit farmers directly, rather than agricultural production service organizations, and the establishment of differentiated subsidy systems.

谁更会讨价还价？

本研究利用中国土地经济调查数据和双边随机前沿模型，引入了一个评估农业生产服务市场议价能力的复杂模型。研究结果表明：(1) 供应商在基准价格基础上抬高 26.77%，而需求方则降低 24.36%，最终市场价格超过基准价格。(2) 劳动力外流和人口老龄化促使供应商进一步提高市场价格。(3) 个人特征的差异是供需双方议价能力差异的基础。研究强调了农民（需求者）的弱势和异质性，主张重新调整补贴分配，使农民直接受益，而不是农业生产服务组织，并建立差异化的补贴制度。

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.
