Abstract

The paper investigates the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) subsidies
on farm total factor productivity (TFP) in the European Union (EU). We
employ a structural semi-parametric estimation algorithm directly incorporating
the effect of subsidies into a model of unobserved productivity. We empirically
study the effects using the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) samples for
the EU-15 countries. Our main findings are clear: subsidies impact negatively on
farm productivity in the period before the decoupling reform was implemented;
after decoupling the effect of subsidies on productivity is more nuanced and in
several countries it turned positive.
