    Description: We consider how cost heterogeneity and market power affect voting power in producer referenda for mandatory agricultural marketing organisations with generic promotion programmes in the United States. We measure voting power using the Banzhaf Power Index and propose a new version of this index based on the profit-maximising theory of the firm that provides an improved estimate of voting power. Examining several types of demand shifts and voting rules, we find that both Banzhaf Power and our new measure vary considerably depending on the market structure and level of cost heterogeneity.

    Description: This empirical study aims to shed light on the dynamic linkages between innovation, efficiency and productivity at the individual farm level. We use a comprehensive dataset for dairy farms in Germany for the period 1996–2010. Based on a directional distance frontier framework and the Luenberger index, we estimate the changes in efficiency, technical change and productivity over the period considered and simultaneously investigate possible factors for technically efficient milk production at farm level. We find that investments in innovative technology indeed increase the productivity of dairy production by shifting out the production frontier. Our findings further imply that investments in innovative dairy technologies require a sufficient level of complementary education to trigger also an increase in efficiency at farm level. The quality of human capital in terms of educational training seems finally crucial for a lasting increase in efficiency as a result of innovation.
