摘要：This study examines the impact of policies and intensification on the environmental performanceof Dutch dairy farms in the period 2001–2010 using a hyperbolic distance function. Theresults indicate that the change from the Mineral Accounting System to the combination ofthe Application Standards Policy with decoupled payments has not significantly changed farms’hyperbolic efficiency. Farms receiving agri-environmental and animal welfare payments are lesshyperbolically efficient than those that do not, highlighting greater decreases in desirable outputsthan decreases in undesirable outputs. Finally, intensification increases hyperbolic efficiency,suggesting that intensive practices may increase production without harming the environment.
