Abstract

Purpose The literature argues on ambiguous impacts of different types of the common agricultural policy (CAP) subsidies on farm technical efficiency (TE). The purpose of this paper is to estimate and analyse the TE and the impact of the CAP subsidies on the TE of wine farms in Hungary using the farm accountancy data network data set in the period 2013–2019. Design/methodology/approach The authors use stochastic frontiers analysis (SFA) models to estimate the TE scores for the Hungarian wine farms with four wine farm-level inputs in terms of agricultural land, labour, capital and intermediate consumption. The TE scores are explained by the CAP subsidies and economic wine farm size. The different SFA models were applied with robustness tests to investigate the drivers of the TE values of wineries. Findings Like for Hungarian farms in general, the distribution of the wine farm structure is a dual with a greater number of smaller wine farms and a smaller number of bigger wine farms. The agricultural land, capital and intermediate consumption are significantly positively associated with the wine farm TE. With higher capital intensity wine farm TE increase. The results imply that the CAP subsidies decrease the TE of the Hungarian wine farms, whereas economic farm size increase. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first specific efficiency studies on the wine sector in the Central and Eastern European region and the first one for Hungary to evaluate the TE at wine farm level and to assess the impact of CAP subsidies and economic farm size on wine farm (in)efficiency to apply production technologies and use farm resources. This study is among the first that applied the fixed-effects stochastic frontier model at the wine farm level to measure the drivers of the TE scores.
共同农业政策补贴与匈牙利葡萄酒农场的技术效率
目的文献讨论了不同类型的共同农业政策补贴对农业技术效率的模糊影响。本文的目的是利用2013-2019年期间的农场会计数据网络数据集,估计和分析匈牙利葡萄酒农场的TE以及CAP补贴对TE的影响。设计/方法/方法作者使用随机前沿分析(SFA)模型,根据农业用地、劳动力、资本和中间消费。TE分数由CAP补贴和经济葡萄酒农场规模来解释。应用不同的SFA模型进行稳健性测试,以调查葡萄酒厂TE值的驱动因素。发现与匈牙利农场一样,葡萄酒农场结构的分布是双重的,有更多的小型葡萄酒农场和更少的大型葡萄酒农场。农业用地、资本和中间消费与葡萄酒农场TE显著正相关。随着资本密集度的提高,葡萄酒农场TE增加。结果表明,CAP补贴降低了匈牙利葡萄酒农场的TE,而经济农场的规模增加了。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是中欧和东欧地区第一次对葡萄酒行业进行具体效率研究,也是匈牙利第一次在葡萄酒农场层面评估TE,并评估CAP补贴和经济农场规模对葡萄酒农场应用生产技术和使用农场资源效率的影响。这项研究是第一批在葡萄酒农场层面应用固定效应随机前沿模型来衡量TE分数驱动因素的研究之一。
