Abstract

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser l’évolution de la distribution de la productivité agricole européenne sous l’hypothèse de la persistance des différences entre les niveaux de productivité sur le long terme. Nos données proviennent de la base de données du Cambridge Econometrics . Nous avons travaillé sur un échantilon de 125 régions de l’UE-15, de 1985 à 2004. Nous avons combiné les fonctions de densité, les matrices de transition et l’analyse stochastique pour étudier la dynamique de la distribution de la productivité. Les résultats indiquent qu’il n’existe pas de processus de convergence rapide. Les disparités entre les agricultures européennes sont importantes et persistantes. La plus grande persistance est observée aux deux extrémités de la distribution. De plus, nous présentons une typologie régionale basée sur différents modèles structurels : la dimension économique et territoriale des exploitations, les caractéristiques de la main-d’œuvre et la spécialisation productive. Les résultats mettent en évidence que la diversité de modèles conditionne la productivité et complique la convergence sectorielle. La divergence de la productivité agricole européenne se poursuivra si les différences de modèles structurels persistent dans l’avenir.
