摘要:This paper attempts to quantitatively measure the change in the productivity of Danish
organic farming in recent years. Based on a translog production frontier framework the
technical and scale efficiency on farm level is analysed by following a time trends as well as
a general index model specification. We further try to analyse the significance of subsidies
for promoting long term growth in organic production by estimating a bootstrapped bivariate
probit model with respect to factors influencing the probability of organic market exit. The
results revealed significant differencies in the organic farms’ technical efficiencies, no
significant total factor productivity growth and even a slightly negative rate of technical
change in the period investigated. We found evidence for a positive relationship between
subsidy payments and an increase in farm efficiency, technology improvements and a
decreasing probability of organic market exit which was also confirmed for off farm income.
