The role of CAP subsidies in all European Union member states: an analysis of technical inefficiency
Nicola Galluzzo
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of CAP payments made to farms included in the European FADN dataset between 2004 and 2019 and, considering this financial aid as an environmental variable, identify patterns of inefficiency in EU farming. The study has adopted a twofold quantitative approach, applying both two-stage DEA and Multidirectional Efficiency Analysis. The results reveal significant imbalances between EU member states over the period of investigation, and underline the specific effect that total CAP disbursed subsidies and second pillar CAP support have on technical inefficiency.
