A longstanding public interest in the economics of the dairy industry has fostered major research efforts on the local, State, regional, and national levels. Due to the large numbers of publications stemming from the above research efforts, several bibliographies covering the literature have appeared. This bibliography builds on those previous undertakings, but primarily deals with studies concerning public policy issues of the seventies and early eighties. One central topic of research in this area has been the high level of government intervention in the production and distribution of milk and milk products.
