Abstract

In order to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss, the European Union (EU) promotes extensive farming. However, identifying such farms across countries and assessing their performance for policy purposes remains challenging. This paper combines a latent class stochastic frontier model (LCSFM) with a novel nested metafrontier approach. The resulting model enables the identification of intensive and extensive farms across countries, estimation of farm efficiency and identification of different technology gaps. Based on Farm Accountancy Data Network data of French, Irish and Austrian dairy farms,we find poorer environmental but better economic performance of intensive farms, compared to extensive farms. The largest productivity differences stem from technology gaps and not from inefficiency. The approach enables a more nuanced analysis of sources of inefficiency to assist policy design for future green payments in the EU.
识别和评估欧洲奶牛养殖中的集约型和粗放型技术
为了应对气候变化和生物多样性丧失,欧盟(EU)提倡广泛的农业。然而,为了政策目的,在各国确定此类农场并评估其表现仍然具有挑战性。本文将潜在类随机前沿模型(LCSFM)与一种新的嵌套元前沿方法相结合。由此产生的模型能够识别各国的集约型和粗放型农场,估计农场效率并识别不同的技术差距。根据法国、爱尔兰和奥地利奶牛场的农场会计数据网络数据,我们发现与粗放型农场相比,集约型农场的环境较差,但经济表现更好。最大的生产力差异源于技术差距,而不是效率低下。该方法能够对低效率的来源进行更细致的分析,以帮助欧盟未来绿色支付的政策设计。

期刊介绍: The European Review of Agricultural Economics serves as a forum for innovative theoretical and applied agricultural economics research. The ERAE strives for balanced coverage of economic issues within the broad subject matter of agricultural and food production, consumption and trade, rural development, and resource use and conservation. Topics of specific interest include multiple roles of agriculture; trade and development; industrial organisation of the food sector; institutional dynamics; consumer behaviour; sustainable resource use; bioenergy; agricultural, agri-environmental and rural policy; specific European issues. Methodological articles are welcome. All published papers are at least double peer reviewed and must show originality and innovation. The ERAE also publishes book reviews.
