Abstract This paper analyses the impacts of CAP reforms, particularly subsidies on technical efficiency crop farms. An output distance function is employed and estimated together with an inefficiency effects model to capture farmer characteristics farm efficiency. The applied FADN data (period 1995–2004) farms in Germany, Netherlands Sweden. study shows that 10‐year average 64% 76% 71% annual changes are 0.1%, 0.4% 2.3%, respectively. share total has a negative impact Germany but positive...
Abstract A series of Ecological Construction Programs have been initiated to protect the condition grasslands in China during recent decades. However, grassland degradation is still severe, and conditions not restored as intended. This paper aims empirically examine effectiveness these programs for protecting extensive pastoral areas China. We focus on one major program that has implemented widely grasslands, Subsidy Incentive System Grassland Conservation (SISGC). The normalized difference...
Abstract Reducing water scarcity requires both mitigation of the increasing pollution and adaptation to changing availability demand resources under global change. However, state-of-the-art modeling efforts often ignore quality associated biogeochemical processes in design reduction measures. Here, we identify cost-effective options for reducing future by accounting quantity highly stressed polluted Pearl River Basin China various socio-economic climatic change scenarios based on Shared...
The impact of EU agricultural support policies on farms’ economic performance is an interesting issue for policy makers. objective this paper to investigate technical efficiency and change specialized German, Dutch Swedish dairy farms compare their relative productivity. Three subsidy-related variables are introduced reflect the wealth insurance effect coupling Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) subsidies. Our results imply that a higher degree in farm negatively affects efficiency, motivation...
Flooding is a serious problem in Jakarta, and detailed estimation of flood damage necessary to design optimal management strategies. This study aims estimate densely populated area Jakarta by means survey, develop the relationship between characteristics damage, compare estimates from survey with obtained model for i.e. scanner model. We collected data on economic losses January 2013 flood-affected households business units Pesanggrahan River. The actual US$ 0.5 million residential sector...
Many water resources are threatened with nutrient pollution worldwide. This holds for rivers exporting increasing amounts of nutrients from the intensification food production systems and further urbanization. riverine transport causes coastal eutrophication. study aims to identify cost-effective management options simultaneously reach environmental targets river export nitrogen phosphorus by Yangtze River (China) in 2050. A newly developed modelling approach is used that integrates Model...
The production and consumption chains of pork Novel Protein Foods (NPFs) their environmental pressures have been compared using life-cycle assessment (LCA) in terms pressure indicators. We define two types indicators: emission indicators resource use focus on five CO2 equivalents for global warming, NH3 acidification, N eutrophication, pesticide fertilizer toxicity, water land use. results LCA show that the chain contributes to acidification 61 times more than, warming 6.4 eutrophication six...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence four components social capital on farmers’ participative behaviour in collective actions for constructing and operating small-scale groundwater irrigation systems Guanzhong Plain, Shaanxi Province, China. Design/methodology/approach (social networks, trust, reciprocity participation) were derived by employing exploratory factor analysis. Logistic model was used estimate these behaviour. Information obtained from a field...
We analyse the impacts of direct income transfers on technical efficiency Greek olive farms. use a production frontier function and non-monotonic inefficiency effects model, which incorporates influences exogenous variables (subsidies, farm characteristics, etc.) efficiency. The model is applied to 1995–2004 FADN data. results show that CAP had negative monotonic effect efficiency, whereas degree specialisation
The egalitarian allocation of agricultural land and small operational farm sizes in rural China raise questions about the implications for overall productivity given that there exists potentially large heterogeneity farm-level productivities. This paper examines to what extent capital are misallocated a region North Plain is characterized by relatively equally distributed sizes. Using survey data set collected from wheat-maize double-cropping farms, we find dispersion total factor...
Abstract The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is a trans-boundary river shared by six countries. governance the Commission (MRC) of Lower (LMB) weak. This study investigates welfare effects in year 2030 arising from strengthening MRC's versus joint management entire MRB. Without management, has huge potential to achieve gains and it requires that interests all stakeholders be equally balanced. A bargaining approach shows LMB no incentive negotiate with China better off instead. If such could...
This paper presents an integrated economic model which is able to explicitly address both water quantity and quality. We use a welfare program maximize social subject the ecological constraints, where interactions, emissions environmental impacts are incorporated. Such can provide marginal values of commodities therefore price by means shadow pricing. The optimal solution specified provides response strategies, i.e. efficient allocation resources in economy including level illustrate...
Environmental problems associated with the inappropriate use of fertilizers by rural smallholders are a growing concern in many countries. This paper contributes to literature examining whether risk preferences, time and personality traits related farmers' synthetic organic fertilizers. We rely on survey data collected from 815 farm households three rice-producing provinces eastern China empirical analyses. Results OLS rare events logistic regressions indicate that risk-seeking patience...
