The determinants of the farmers? conversion to organic agriculture: Evidence from Czech panel data
Original language description
The aim of the paper is to assess the impact of farmers? technical efficiency on their decision to convert from conventional to the organic land management. Firstly, the technical efficiency is calculated for each farm using parametric approach to efficiency measurement, particularly Stochastic Frontier Analysis. A Cobb-Douglas production function explains the volume of the production by the amount of production factors and subsidies (SAPS and Top-Up). A true fixed effect model assuming truncated normaldistribution of inefficiency term is estimated by maximum likelihood method. In the second step, we use random effects logistic regression to model the influence of technical efficiency on the decision of the farmer to convert the agricultural holding from conventional to organic management scheme.We use unbalanced panel data of Czech farms forthe period from 2005 to 2012. The results reveiled that the odds that the farm will convert from conventional to organic agriculture are higher w
