Abstract

The paper investigates the drivers of farm size and farm size growth in Slovenia during the period 2007-2017 using a farm-level Farm Accountancy Data Network dataset within a quantile regression framework. Farm size growth is measured by growth in utilized agricultural area per farm. The findings suggest that growth in farm land size is driven by initial farm land size and policy subsidy support. Contrary to expectations, human capital does not play an important role in either farm land size or farm land size growth according to quantile regressions. These findings from inter-quantile comparative analysis are important for farm-related structural and rural development policy.

人力资本在农场规模增长中起重要作用吗?斯洛文尼亚的案例

本文使用分位数回归框架内的农场级农场会计数据网络数据集，调查了2007-2017年期间斯洛文尼亚农场规模和农场规模增长的驱动因素。农场规模增长是通过每个农场利用农业面积的增长来衡量的。研究结果表明，农业用地规模的增长受到初始农业用地规模和政策补贴支持的驱动。与预期相反，根据分位数回归，人力资本在农地规模或农地规模增长中都没有发挥重要作用。这些分位数间比较分析的发现对农业相关的结构和农村发展政策具有重要意义。
