      abstract = {This paper examines the association between agricultural  subsidies and farm
efficiency using data from the European  Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) for
operations  specializing on dairy. The analysis covers the 18 year  period going from 1990 to
2007 and includes eleven  countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland,  Italy,
Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the  United Kingdom. Separate translog
stochastic input distance  frontiers are estimated for each country. Results show high  technical
efficiency averages and positive average rates of  technological change. In addition, higher
subsidy  dependence and larger size are significantly associated  with lower technical
efficiency across all eleven  countries.},
