Bailey, Kenneth W. "The
Role of Extension in Controversial Studies: The Case of Interstate
Dairy Compacts." Journal of Extension.
Vol. 40, No. 1. February 2002.
Letter
to Dan Smith, Exec Director of the Compact Commission, Review of the
UConn Cotterill Study
Correction: In the
paper below (2001) I write that, "Cotterill and Franklin . . .
concluded that the Compact had no impact on retail milk prices . .
" In fact, Cotterill and Franklin did find that the compact
resulted in higher retail milk prices in the Northeast, "we find a
2.7 cents per gallon impact (due to the compact)." This
impact is much lower than the impact I estimated below.
For a comparison of methodologies for estimating the retail impact
of the compact, I would refer you to Dr. Cotterill's website at the Food
Marketing Policy Center:
