      abstract = {The paper investigates the difference in technical  efficiency and in productivity change, and the technology  gaps, between French and Hungarian farms in the dairy and  cereal, oilseeds and proteinseeds (COP) sectors during the  period 2001-2004. The analyses are performed with national  FADN data and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach  under each country’s respective frontier and under a  metafrontier. Results revealed that in both the dairy and  the COP sectors, Hungarian farms’ technology was the more  productive, despite a technological deterioration. This  suggests technological advantages for large-scale  (Hungarian) over small-scale (French) farming in these two  sectors. These findings may also be explained by the higher  policy support in France. Subsidies received by farms have  indeed a stronger negative impact on technical efficiency  for French farms than for Hungarian farms, and a negative  impact on the ability to lead the technology only for  French farms.},
