Abstract
This paper presents parametric and non-parametric methods used to measure scale efficiency. As the parametric method the author applied Cobb-Douglas production function, and as the non-parametric. DEA method. The analysis based on 170 dairy cooperatives shows increasing returns to scale in the Polish dairy sector. This analysis confirmed earlier conclusions of literature.
