Abstract

This paper investigates the link between farm investment and farm performance considering two types of farms that may have a different investment strategy: farms that are intensive in capital, and farms that have a low capital intensity. Panel data on specialized dairy farms of one sub-region of French Brittany (Ille-et-Vilaine) for the period 2005-2014 were used. Results from adjustment cost models indicate that farms tend to smooth their investments to limit adjustment cost and that farm performance has a negative impact on investment.
