      abstract = {This paper attempts to quantitatively  measure  the   change in the productivity  of  Danish organic  farming  in   recent  years.  Based  on  a  translog production   frontier  framework  the technical and scale efficiency on  farm level is analysed by following a time trends as well  as a general index model specification. We further  try to  analyse the significance of subsidies for promoting long  term growth in organic production by estimating a  bootstrapped bivariate probit model with respect to factors  influencing the probability of organic market exit. The  results  revealed  significant  differencies  in  the   organic  farms'  technical  efficiencies,  no significant   total  factor  productivity  growth  and  even  a  slightly   negative  rate  of  technical change  in  the  period   investigated. We  found  evidence  for  a  positive   relationship  between subsidy  payments  and  an  increase   in  farm  efficiency,  technology  improvements  and  a  decreasing probability of organic market exit which was  also confirmed for off farm income.},
