资金充裕是必需的吗？欧盟有机认证采纳中的财务状况研究
Deep pockets needed? Financial health and organic certification adoption in the European Union
摘要
Adoption of organic certification across the EU remains lower than anticipated, with financial risks during and after conversion often cited as barriers. We examine whether farms with stronger financial health (FH) are associated with a higher likelihood of adopting organic certification. Using Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data from 2014 to 2018 covering 24,797 EU farms, we classify farms by FH and apply matching and logit regression to analyse the relationship between preconversion FH and organic certification adoption. Results show no clear association between FH and adoption, while preconversion land-use intensity consistently correlates with organic certification uptake, suggesting relevance for EU policy design efforts.

欧盟范围内有机认证的采用率仍低于预期，转型期间及之后的财务风险常被视为障碍。本文探究财务健康状况更佳的农场是否更有可能采用有机认证。基于2014至2018年覆盖24,797个欧盟农场的农场会计数据网络面板数据，我们对农场进行财务健康分类，并运用匹配法和逻辑回归分析转型前财务健康与有机认证采用之间的关系。结果显示，财务健康与有机认证采用之间无显著关联，而转型前土地利用强度始终与有机认证采用呈正相关，这一发现对欧盟政策设计具有参考价值。
