“…They find that policy factors strongly influence the dynamics of productivity growth, but differently in different countries. Broadly speaking, productivity growth occurs either due to technology adoption (in productivity frontier terms, an expansion of the frontier) or due to adjustments such as farm exit and consolidation which allow reallocation of resources towards more efficient farms (Kimura and Le Thi, 2013 [56]). When MPS occurs in the form of production quotas, binding quotas "tend to slow down structural change of the sector and maintain inefficiencies.…”

Moreover, notwithstanding the recent FLINT initiative 56 to extend the coverage of FADN on environmental variables, this database does not include 54 OECD (2016, p. 189 [41]) states: "the [PSE] indicator database in its current version does not lend itself to modelling agri-environmental policies. These policies are characterized by an "input constraint" label, indicating whether the input constraint is voluntary, and whether it has an environmental objective.…”

Thus, studies based on this database are necessarily limited in the level of policy granularity they are able to achieve and in their ability to link policy impacts to economic and environmental outcomes.…”

“…The total factor productivity growth, before the phasing out of the milk quota, was almost entirely driven by a decline in input use. However, currently the main driving force of TFP growth in the Dutch dairy farm sector became the expansion of milk output (Kimura and Sauer, 2015).…”
