Abstract

This chapter evaluates the impact of the land consolidation (LC) processes that have taken place in Asturias during the period 2001–2017. These processes have received European funds as they help to improve the economic activity in rural areas. In particular, the LC processes involve very localized public investments in infrastructures that favour accessibility and development not only in the local but also in adjacent areas. To evaluate the effect of LC processes on milk and beef production, we treat the parishes in Asturias as production units and estimate a set of multi-output distance functions. Our results indicate that LC contributes to increase parishes’ livestock production, although those processes not always are accompanied by an increase in the number of farms. We also find that the (indirect) effect from LC processes implemented in neighbouring parishes is positive and even more relevant than the (direct) effect on the local LC processes.
