Monitoring and ongoing evaluation of six state-related programmes for the development of rural areas during the years 2007 to 2013: subarea farm investment scheme
Project
Project code: TI-BW-08-PID1591
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2016
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
If agricultural holdings are keen to persist they ought to invest in technology and buildings. The state supports them via grants and garantees. We investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of these aids. The Thünen-Institute for farm management and the Institute for rural areas commonly evaluate the rural development programmes (RDPs) of the German states Northrhine-Westfalia, Hessia, Mecklenburg-Pommerania, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony/Bremen and Hamburg. The main task is to analyse and assess the effectiveness of the support measures with regard to the political goals. Within the limits of the RDPs investments of agricultural holdings for the improvement of productivity and sectoral competitiveness are supported. The objective of this support is to offer new opportunities of development for farms and to generate jobs and value added in rural areas. We investigate the relevance of the state support regarding existing problems, and both the effectiveness and the efficiency of the support. The impact of the support scheme shall be identified by means of with-without-comparisons of structurally similar groups of enterprises in a combination with a before-after-comparison matching approach, productivity and efficiency analysis. More long term oriented analyses in structural development of agriculture complement the single farm based approaches. The investigation is mainly based on approval data including investment plans of supported farms and on annual accounts of supported and non-supported farms.
