Abstract: Existence of an experience curve effect for Tennessee dairy farmers was examined using cross-sectional data. The strongest experience effect was found when data was indexed by the farmers' level of production in the inaugural year of farming. There also appeared to be a strong relationship between experience effect and productivity of the dairy herd when first purchased. Using years of experience as a proxy for accumulated output appeared to slightly overstate the experience effect in most cases. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
