Abstract

While many studies have compared the technical efficiency of part-time and full-time farms, we add to the existing literature by extending this analysis to scale efficiency. Based on a sample of crop farms in Austria between 2010 and 2017, we find that part-time farms are more scale efficient when they are evaluated with respect to their production technology and the difference in scale efficiency between part-time and full-time farms increases over time. Although we do not find any significant difference in technical efficiency, full-time farms have a higher technological change. Furthermore, an analysis of the determinants of scale efficiency confirms that factors facilitating farm growth also increase scale efficiency.

兼职农业和规模效益
虽然许多研究比较了兼职和全职农场的技术效率,但我们将这一分析扩展到规模效率,从而增加了现有文献。基于奥地利2010 - 2017年的作物农场样本,我们发现兼职农场在生产技术方面更具规模效率,兼职农场和全职农场之间的规模效率差异随着时间的推移而增加。虽然我们没有发现技术效率的显著差异,但全职农场的技术变革更高。此外,对规模效率决定因素的分析证实,促进农业增长的因素也会提高规模效率。
