欧盟共同农业政策对区域农业生产率的影响
The Impact of the EU Common Agricultural Policy on Regional Agricultural Productivity
摘要
This paper investigates the relationship between EU agricultural subsidies and labor productivity growth in agriculture, using data from 1007 NUTS‐3 regions over the period 2007–2020. The fine spatial resolution improves comparability across regions and allows a more detailed assessment than previous aggregate studies. A novel contribution of this work is the adjustment of subsidy amounts for national co‐financing, ensuring consistency across Member States. We disaggregate CAP payments into their main components and test robustness to spatial dependence. The results show that decoupled Pillar I payments significantly enhance labor productivity. Among Pillar II measures, human capital and forestry support display positive effects, whereas early retirement and less‐favored area payments are negative, and organic farming support shows transitional short‐term declines that fade over longer horizons. Population density is consistently negatively related to labor productivity growth.
中文摘要
本文利用2007—2020年1007个NUTS-3区域的数据，考察欧盟农业补贴与农业劳动生产率增长之间的关系。较精细的空间分辨率提高了区域间的可比性，并使得评估比以往的总体研究更为细致。本研究的创新之处在于对补贴金额进行了国家共同出资调整，以确保成员国之间的一致性。我们将共同农业政策（CAP）支付分解为其主要组成部分，并检验其对空间依赖性的稳健性。结果表明，第一支柱下的脱钩支付显著提升了劳动生产率。在第二支柱措施中，人力资本和林业支持呈现正向效应，而提前退休和不利地区支付则为负向效应，有机农业支持则表现出短期的过渡性下降，且该下降在较长时期后逐渐消失。人口密度始终与劳动生产率增长呈负相关。
