We consider different models that assess eco-efficiency in the perspective of production frontier estimation. These models span from the ones that consider bad outputs as inputs, or as outputs under the weak disposability assumption, or under the weak G-disposability and the materials balance...

L'impact des instruments politiques sur la production des biens agricoles et des biens environnementaux joints, soit par un facteur non allouable soit par un facteur allouable fixe, est examiné dans un univers incertain. Lever l'hypothèse d'un univers certain est important pour l'analyse des...

The impact of various policy instruments on the production of environmental goods that are complementary to or competing with agricultural commodities is analysed in the light of the uncertainty in output prices and farmers' risk aversion. Some theoretical assessments are first summarised and...

An analytical framework is proposed for analysis of environmental good production by farmers in the case of price uncertainty. Environmental good production contracted by means of agri-environmental agreements is treated as a riskless option in the farmer’s production activities portfolio. It...

La dernière réforme de la PAC poursuit celle de 1992, elle-même confirmée par l'Agenda 2000, dans le découplage des soutiens directs à la production. Afin de voir les adaptations des exploitations d'élevage bovin allaitant, des simulations de différentes options d'application de la...

The issue addressed in this paper is whether implementation of the CAP MTR, (involving decoupled payments reduced by "modulations" and subject to cross-compliance measures) can be effective in improving the environmental impact of arable farming. The focus is on two French cross-compliance...

Les aléas climatiques figurent parmi les principales sources de risque de variations des résultats technico-économiques auxquelles sont confrontés les élevages de bovins allaitants. L’enjeu est de mieux comprendre comment les éleveurs peuvent diminuer leur exposition aux risques...

Avec la généralisation de la conditionnalité des aides et son caractère désormais obligatoire, la réforme de la Politique Agricole Commune de juin 2003 fait un pas de plus dans le renforcement de la promotion d’une agriculture respectueuse de l’environnement. Parmi les différents...

The French government and private companies are currently working on a scheme to insure grassland production. Objectives of this study are first to analyse how grassland yield insurance would substitute to self insurance in suckler cow farms and with which effects on profit distribution, second...
