  • Digital innovations for sustainable and resilient agricultural systems
    Item type: Review Article
    Finger, Robert (2023)
    European Review of Agricultural Economics
    Digitalisation is rapidly transforming the agri-food sector. This paper investigates emerging opportunities, challenges and policy options. We show that digital innovations can contribute to more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems. For example, digital innovations enable increased productivity, reduced environmental footprints and higher resilience of farms. However, these optimistic outcomes of increasing digitalisation of the agricultural sector will not emerge on their own, but this development comes with several challenges, costs and risks, e.g. in economic, social and ethical dimensions. We provide policy recommendations to explore opportunities and avoid risks. Moreover, we discuss implications for future research in agricultural economics.
  • Does information change German consumers’ attitudes about genetically modified food?
    Item type: Journal Article
    Wüpper, David Johannes; Wree, Philipp; Ardali, Goezde (2019)
    European Review of Agricultural Economics
    We use a choice experiment to investigate attitude heterogeneity regarding genetically modified food and how it is affected by the provision of balanced information. For the analysis, we use a generalized multinomial and a latent class logit. The consumers who are more accepting of genetic modifications are younger, less educated, and less concerned about their nutrition. The average effect of our provided information is negligible. However, the initially less opposed become slightly more opposed. Our results thus do not support the view that a lack of information drives consumer attitudes. Instead, attitudes seem to mostly reflect fundamental preferences. We discuss implications for research and policy.

  • A Ricardian analysis of the impact of climate change on Italian agriculture
    Item type: Journal Article
    Bozzola, Martina; Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert; et al. (2018)
    European Review of Agricultural Economics
    This research investigates the potential impact of warming on Italian agriculture. Using a detailed dataset of 16,000 farms across Italy, the study examines likely warming impacts in different regions and for different sectors of Italian agriculture. The study finds that farm net revenues are very sensitive to seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation. Livestock and crop farms have different responses to climate as do rainfed farms and irrigated crop farms. The overall results suggest mild consequences from marginal changes in climate but increasingly harmful effects from more severe climate scenarios.

  • Identifying and assessing intensive and extensive technologies in European dairy farming
    Item type: Journal Article
    Latruffe, Laure; Niedermayr, Andreas; Desjeux, Yann; et al. (2023)
    European Review of Agricultural Economics
    In order to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss, the European Union (EU) promotes extensive farming. However, identifying such farms across countries and assessing their performance for policy purposes remains challenging. This paper combines a latent class stochastic frontier model (LCSFM) with a novel nested metafrontier approach. The resulting model enables the identification of intensive and extensive farms across countries, estimation of farm efficiency and identification of different technology gaps. Based on Farm Accountancy Data Network data of French, Irish and Austrian dairy farms,we find poorer environmental but better economic performance of intensive farms, compared to extensive farms. The largest productivity differences stem from technology gaps and not from inefficiency. The approach enables a more nuanced analysis of sources of inefficiency to assist policy design for future green payments in the EU.
  • Does culture affect soil erosion? Empirical evidence from Europe
    Item type: Journal Article
    Wüpper, David Johannes (2020)
    European Review of Agricultural Economics
    I investigate whether cultural differences explain why some European regions are more effective in mitigating soil erosion than others. Specifically, I consider environmental preferences and beliefs as well as time preferences. For causal identification, I use a control function approach. The estimates suggest that a 1 standard deviation increase in pro-environmental culture increases erosion mitigation by 2–9 percentage points. This has important implications for research and policy making, which I discuss.
