摘要：The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of
investment support on labour productivity in Lithuanian
family farms. This issue is of particular importance when
appraising whether the investment support has had the
anticipated effects. Propensity score matching is employed to
quantify the average treatment effect on the treated farms.
The research is based on panel data from the Farm
Accountancy Data Network covering the period of 2007–
2012. The results show that Lithuanian farmers’ participation
in investment measures did not result in labour productivity
gains. These results provide guidance for policy makers with
regards to decisions on investment support measures beyond
2020.
