为了探索合作社对塑造农产品营销的力量的反应，我们需要了解它们在市场经济中的作用。合作社的经济职能是将其成员垂直整合到营销链中，上游(采购合作社)或下游(营销合作社)。合作整合的显著特点是其结合性。代理人横向协调(组成俱乐部)以实现纵向一体化(VI)。因此，解释合作社在市场经济中的作用同时也是(A)列举农民垂直一体化的动机和(B)找出协调(即合作社)而不是个人一体化的原因。为此，考虑集合N={1，

The distinguishing feature of cooperative integration is its jointness. Agents horizontally coordinate (form a club) to accomplish vertical integration (VI). Thus, to explain cooperatives' role in a marketoriented economy is simultaneously (a) to enumerate farmers' incentives to integrate vertically and (b) to identify reasons for coordinated (i.e., cooperative) rather than individual integration. Toward this end, consider a set N = {1,
