This paper incorporates the milk quota system into technical efficiency analysis of dairy farms in England and Wales. Our approach accounts for milk quota trade, allowing an investigation of the relationship between the way in which milk quota market is used by farmers and technical efficiency. In addition, several explanatory variables for inefficiency were used. Results obtained from a Bayesian stochastic frontier analysis show that the way in which farmers use the milk quota market is linked to farm efficiency. Other aspects such as environmental payments received by the farmer are linked to inefficiency.
本文将牛奶配额制度纳入了对英格兰和威尔士奶牛场技术效率的分析。我们的方法考虑了牛奶配额交易,从而可以研究农民使用牛奶配额市场的方式与技术效率之间的关系。此外,还使用了几个用于衡量非效率的解释变量。贝叶斯随机前沿分析的结果表明,农民使用牛奶配额市场的方式与农场效率有关。其他方面,如农民收到的环境付款,与非效率有关。
