Abstract

This study presents an innovative empirical application to the assessment of agri-environment measures on environmental and economic efficiency. Using a multi-equation representation with desirable technology and its accompanying undesirable by-production technology, we investigate the effects of agri-environment measures on farm-level environmental and economic efficiency. A combination of propensity score matching and a difference-in-difference approach is used to estimate the policy effect. The application focuses on a balanced sample of Bavarian dairy farms surveyed between 2013 and 2018. Results suggest that agri-environment schemes do not alter farms’ economic efficiency, whereas environmental efficiency does not seem to be stimulated by schemes participation.

农业环境措施是否有助于提高环境和经济效率?来自巴伐利亚奶农的证据

本研究提出了一种创新的实证应用，用于评估农业环境措施对环境和经济效率的影响。利用理想技术及其伴随的不良生产技术的多方程表示，我们研究了农业环境措施对农场级环境和经济效率的影响。将倾向得分匹配和差异中的差异方法相结合来估计政策效果。该应用程序侧重于2013年至2018年间调查的巴伐利亚奶牛场的平衡样本。结果表明，农业环境计划不会改变农场的经济效率，而环境效率似乎不会受到计划参与的刺激。
