      abstract = {The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of  public subsidies on farm technical efficiency using recent  advances in nonparametric efficiency analysis. To this end,  we use robust conditional frontier techniques as well as  insights from recent developments in nonparametric  econometrics. The paper contributes to the ongoing  methodological discussion on how to model the effect of  public subsidies on farmers’ production decisions. The  analysis is conducted using an unbalanced panel data of  1,604 observations from 313 French farms located in the  French region Meuse over the period 2006-2011. The  estimates indicate that public subsidies influence  negatively the conditional technical efficiency of farms.  This suggests that public subsidies affect the range of  attainable values for the inputs and outputs, and hence the  shape of the boundary of the attainable set, as well as the  distribution of inefficiencies inside the attainable set.},
