Farm technical efficiency under a tradable milk quota system.
This paper incorporates the milk quota system into technical efficiency analysis of dairy farms in England and Wales. Our approach accounts for milk quota trade, allowing an investigation of the relationship between the way in which milk quota market is used by farmers and technical efficiency. In addition, several explanatory variables for inefficiency were used. Results obtained from a Bayesi...
متن کاملInefficiencies in the UK milk quota system
Given that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union has imposed milk marketing quota on producers, the fact that they are tradeable in the UK increases economic efficiency. Nevertheless, significant inefficiencies remain. Modelling work reported here suggests that significantly more quota needed to be transferred from less to more efficient producers in 1996/97 for industry ef...
متن کاملEntrepreneurial behaviour of dutch dairy farmers under a milk quota system: goals, objectives and attitudes
An empirical model, based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, was developed to test the hypothesis that differences in farmers goals, objectives and attitudes are a determinant of strategic and entrepreneurial behaviour and will, therefore, result in differences in farm size. The theory states that a person s behaviour results from his/her goals and intentions, attitudes, perceived behavioural ...
متن کاملProductivity , technical efficiency , and farm size in
This essay assesses the relationship between farm size and productivity. Both parametric and nonparametric methods are used to derive efficiency measures. Smaller farms are found to have higher net farm income per hectare, and to be more technically efficient, than larger farms. JEL Classifications: Q12, O12
متن کاملThe Technical Efficiency of Specialised Milk Farms: A Regional View
The aim of the article is to evaluate production efficiency and its determinants of specialised dairy farming among the EU regions. In the most of European regions, there is a relatively high significance of small specialised farms including dairy farms. The DEAVRS method (data envelopment analysis with variable returns to scale) reveals efficient and inefficient regions including the scale eff...
